Cochran wheat miller teaches others how to live `whole-grain lifestyle'
By Dallas Duncan
Get back to the basics by checking out our video at www.youtube.com/user/gamktbulletin
There are three Fs that define businesswoman Ginger Butts: faith, family and farm.
All three are evident inside the small building in Cochran, Ga., where the magic happens. A four-foot high stack of bagged wheat berries lies on pallets in one corner, freshly harvested from the family farm. Next to it is a rolled-up banner featuring a family portrait, which gets taken to farmers markets every week. And on a shelf just above eye level, a hand-written wooden plaque a Mother's Day present with the Bible verses Ephesians 3:17 through 20.
A portion of it reads, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine."
Though she didn't realize it when she first came across the verse, it has a lot to do with the opportunities presented to her faith-based agribusiness, Back to the Basics 101.
"I can't say who I am without saying I'm a follower of Christ, because that's because I do what I do," Butts said. "I'm a wife to my husband, a mother to my two boys. When they were young, they were diagnosed with asthma. I looked for direction from God and I cried out to Him, and He gave me wisdom to treat them nutritionally."
And so she began milling her own whole-berry, wholewheat flour, fresh from the family farm, where wheat has been a regular crop in her husband's winter lineup.
Fast-forward 15 years. A school in Bleckley County was selected to participate in the Department's Feed My School

for a Week program, and Butts was approached about her flour being used to make rolls. It wasn't long until Butts turned her "whole-grain lifestyle" into a flourishing business.
"I want to teach people, empower people, on how to have a whole-grain lifestyle," Butts said. "I'm a miller and I'm an educator. I mill for school systems and I mill for restaurants and I mill for individuals. Since I mill, I sell my flour."
These days, many visitors to her farmers market booth tell Butts they don't use flour anymore.
`It makes me sad because I know all the nutrients in grain that God intended our bodies to have, and I definitely have a passion to defend wheat and gluten because it's been tagged as the bad guy on the food block, and it's not," she said.
Wheat has three parts: the bran, germ and endosperm, Butts said. When wheat is milled commercially, it's separated into several components that are used in different industries. Bran and wheat germ go to the health industry, middlings are used in livestock feed and germ oil in cosmetics.
"So then all you're left with is the endosperm, which is nutritionally void [of vitamins and minerals]," Butts said. "Legally to call it `whole-wheat,' all they have to do is add a portion of the bran to the endosperm. But it's not whole-wheat because it doesn't have the whole berry."
A washing process removes gluten contained in the endosperm, so processors add back "unnatural amounts" of gluten to meet a fiber-to-flour ratio, she said. The added amount of gluten is what Butts believes to be one factor in some people being unable to process commercially milled flours.
Back to the Basics 101 does not separate wheat berries out into their individual components, making it the "true, virgin form of whole-wheat flour," Butts said.
Milling the entire wheat berry means the flour has "all the nutrients God intended them to have," Butts said.
"This grain is like a fruit or a vegetable," Butts said. "Once you cut it, it begins to oxidize, which means it begins to lose its nutrients. That means it's at its nutritional peak."
Back to the Basics 101 flour can be used interchangeably with all-purpose flour in recipes.
Lisa Shepley, owner of Lisa Mae Cakes in Byron, Ga., is a regular customer of Back to the Basics 101. As a professional baker, Shepley said enjoys the flour for personal use, but it would be difficult to incorporate into the wedding cakes she's known for.
"People want a light cake. They don't want it to taste like wheat," she said. "If you were to sift it, you'd end up with all the little pieces and stuff. That would just weigh down a cake. I don't think you could add enough baking soda to compensate for that."
She uses the flour at home in items such as pancakes and pizza crust.
"The pancakes tasted better," Shepley said. "They're not real high and fluffy, they're thinner, but I was OK with that. The pizza crust was very crispy, which we liked."
For recipes that call for yeast, such as breads, Butts recom-

mends using a one-to-one ratio of soft whole-berry wheat with a hard variety, which has more protein in it. Next up for Back to the Basics 101 are plans for pre-bagged mixes of pancake, waffle, cookie and banana bread mixes, Butts said.
"If you wanted a whole-grain lifestyle, I can sell you the equipment, I can sell you the ongoing grain and I can teach you how to do it," she said. "I mill commercially and I mill for individuals through the farmers market. Then I teach by doing classes."
In addition to selling bags of flour, Butts invites new customers right into her kitchen to teach them how to mill using tabletop machines.
"I love sharing how God brought healing to my family and I believe it so passionately, and there's so many people who are sick and I believe the answer is in nutrition," Butts said. "My heart is to help a person one at a time. I'm not saying wheat was the answer to healing my boys of asthma, but it was part of the solution."

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: HW Creative Marketing
Firm supports and promotes success for small businesses
By Maggie Dudacek, summer intern
HW Creative Marketing, based in Athens, Ga., is a marketing agency that specializes in business marketing for firms across a variety of industries, including agriculture.
Co-Founder and Senior Partner Richie Knight said he uses his 4-H background to encourage HW to promote and empower small businesses budding and growing in Georgia.
"We encountered a number of Georgia Grown members and was immediately impressed by the organization's sense of community and commitment to our state's economy. We at HW strive to incorporate that same sense of community into every aspect of their marketing services," Knight said.
HW's love for small businesses allows for the firm to dedicate its resources and expertise to help Georgia Grown businesses take their marketing efforts to the next level, Knight said.
"We want to make a positive impact upon the Georgia economy and show potential customers all of the amazing homegrown products that the state and its locally owned businesses have to offer. HW would love the opportunity to learn more about the state's small businesses, their needs, and the needs of their clients through Georgia Grown's network," he said.
HW Creative Marketing's state pride and commitment to Georgia's businesses is a driving force behind the agency's desire to support local agribusinesses.
"Georgia is a wonderful place to live and we believe that the innovation of brand new small businesses will bring even greater opportunities to this state in the years to come," Knight said.

TAKE 5: Senior Georgia Grown Executive Chef
1. What part of being a chef ambassador are you most excited about?
I'm excited about being able to share my love for Georgia products with chefs and consumers around the state, and being able to share recipes and different uses for products we produce in our state.
agriCULTURE
Letter from the editor
2. Tell us a little about your culinary background.
I graduated in 1979 from the Culinary Institute of America. I worked as chef in a Connecticut restaurant and moved to Georgia in 1981 to be a chef to state governors. I was the chef for Gov. George Busbee, Joe Frank Harris, Roy Barnes, Sonny Perdue, Nathan Deal and the special events chef for Zell Miller.
CHUTE
3. How did you get involved with the Department?
Because of my love of Georgia products and seeing a need to get more people using our state's bounty, I approached the commissioner with the possibility of representing the Department.
4. What are your favorite Georgia commodities to cook with? Vidalia Onions, peaches, pecans and chicken.
5. Since it's National Peach Month, share with us your best tip for cooking with peaches.
I don't like to cover up the flavor of fresh peaches too much. My favorite way to showcase peaches is a rustic tart. I make pie dough, roll it out and free-form a tart, purposely keeping it an imperfect shape. I parbake it which means partially bake the crust then pile fresh sliced peaches tossed with a little sugar and a dash of vanilla or almond extract. I put it back in the oven and cook it until the peaches are just tender, and serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

GUEST COLUMN: Georgia farmers feed Georgia families through fresh produce donations
Each year the US Department
of Agriculture estimates that more
than 70 billion pounds of food go to
waste in the US alone. That means
that 40 percent of resources that go
into growing, harvesting, packaging,
distributing and selling the food are
invested only to not be used to nour-
ish people. This includes 25 percent
of all fresh water used in the US and
CRAFT
4 percent of total US oil consumption.
At the same time, one in five Georgians struggle to put
enough food on the table to feed their families. In fact,
there is enough food produced in this country to ensure no
one goes to bed hungry, yet every night millions do.
The good news is that Georgia farmers are generously
contributing fresh fruits and vegetables to the Georgia
Food Bank Association's eight regional food banks and
other food banks in our network to feed families in need.
Through GFBA's Farm to Food Bank program, more than
6.6 million pounds of fresh Georgia grown fruits and veg-
etables have been donated for hunger relief this year alone.
That is the equivalent of 5.3 million meals!
Georgia farmers are an important source of valuable
food donations to the food banks in their communities.
Georgia is a bountiful agricultural state with a long grow-
ing season and millions of pounds of fruits and vegetables
produced not only for local consumption, but also for
the food retailers across the country. Food banks capture
donated produce that is aesthetically imperfect grade
No. 2 and culls unsellable at retail, but still nourishing
and healthy. They also rescue unsold produce from retail
partners. All the produce that is collected helps provide
healthy alternatives for food bank clients instead of being
plowed under or rotting on the tree or on the ground.
Georgia is home to eight regional food banks that
serve every county in the state by distributing food
through 2,300 community-based agencies like food
pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. Last year, they
distributed more than 103 million pounds of food and
grocery supplies to Georgians in need. Fresh produce is
a critically important source of food for the food bank
network. We are grateful and proud to work with the
generous growers in Georgia who are donating tractor-
trailer loads of produce so that families in need have access to nourishing food.
Food donors are protected by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, which was passed by Congress to protect companies from civil and criminal liability should the product donated in good faith later cause harm to the needy recipient. And Congress is currently considering legislation with enhanced tax incentives for farmers who donate produce for hunger relief. HR 4719 passed the House on July 17 with bipartisan support and is now being considered by the Senate.
Georgia's eight regional food banks are committed to fighting hunger while helping to ensure that safe, edible, unsellable food does not go to waste. We are grateful to Georgia's generous farmers who are donating to our network through the Farm to Food Bank program.
Danah Craft is the executive director of GFBA. If you are interested in donating fresh produce, contact Dustin Lard, GFBA's regional fresh produce sourcer, at 912764-7675. GFBA, formed in 1985, maximizes the effect of its members through education, advocacy and raising food and funds for the food banks through statewide programs like Farm to Food Bank.

When I think "pie," my mind usually pops first to the cinnamon-y, warm, baked-with-fruit-inside and served-with-icecream-because-they're-piping-hot authentic, Americana flavors of apple, pumpkin and sweet potato. These, my friends, are the pies of fall. They're the pies that people think of as comforting (47 percent of Americans, in fact, according to the American Pie Council).
But a fun fact: pies aren't just for short days and cold days. Pies are awesome all year long. This issue, we wanted to bring two pies to your summer repertoire. There's a pie you can eat as a meal or as a side, and a pie you can eat for dessert. Or breakfast, as Americans preferred in the 19th century. It's pie. Trust me, I won't judge ya! The tomato pie is somehow a quintessential Southern dish that gets looked over. We're familiar with fried green tomatoes as Southern fare and red slices on a BLT sandwich, but a lot of times tomatoes get thrown on things or in things as an afterthought. "Sure Subway sandwich artist, throw me a few tomato slices on there!" for example. But with tomato pie comes a plate that stars this juicy red fruitable. I'd not had tomato pie before moving to Atlanta. I'm not even a big fan of tomatoes, unless they're on pasta or underneath a layer of cheese on pizza. Then I was indoctrinated at the fabulous Mary Mac's Tea Room, and now I crave tomato pie on the regular. Of course, since every other Atlantan knows that Mary Mac's has the best tomato pie pretty much ever, it's not the easiest restaurant to get into unless you're trying to slip in at 2:43 p.m. on a Tuesday. Thus, it was one of the restaurants that got filed into the mental list of "Places We Go When Family Visits." I ate tomato pie at a couple of other places, but it just couldn't compare. That is, until Marcia Crowley, our esteemed home economist and recipe guru, served me a slice of this one. It was as if the heavens had opened up on my plate. The adjectives that went through my mind! The juice from the tomatoes soaked into the lightly browned crust, making every moist bite melt in my mouth. The combination of soft, savory flavors was freshened by the burst of fresh-chopped basil on top. Y'all. I ate three slices. I don't eat three slices of any pie unless it has the word "pizza" in front of it. Since I've made myself hungry again, I suppose now's as good a time as any to think about that dessert pie I made last night that's chilling in the fridge. I mean, what goes better for dessert after eating a savory pie than, well, more pie? Many of America's favorite flavors of crust-covered fruity goodness are fall pies, but it's very possible to have a summertime pie as well. In my mind, these baked goods are best when filled with zesty citrus flavors and sweet summer fruit crops, like peaches and berries. The chilled lemon pie hits all the sweet spots. It's a little tart, a little sugary and a lot decadent. The rich, creamy texture of the cool filling makes this pie a great way to end a hot day spent outside in the field (or on the beach). Plus, if y'all are getting as much rain as we seem to get these days, we can use as much sunshine as we can even if it comes in the form of a bright yellow pie filling instead of a giant burning star. These two tasty treats are both becoming menu staples in my apartment. Who knows what the coming seasons will bring in terms of more pie-spiration? The possibilities, or pie-ssibilities, if you will, are endless. OK, I promise I'm done with pie puns. Time to slice up this meal and eat. Dallas Duncan is the editor of the Market Bulletin.

ARTY'S GARDEN: Good neighbors help make gardening a pleasure
My garden is bursting at the seams. The anisacanthus seems to know that cloudless sulphur butterflies will find it easier to reach its orange flowers if it weaves itself through the front chain-link fence. The Bidwill's coralbean keeps reaching out to touch passersby on the sidewalk, invading the air space of Stephanie's yard with its curved stems of beckoning red flowers that invite hummingbirds to come and feed. My `Gardenia' yellow rose cannot be convinced that it should not throw out long canes into Edward's yard, turning the path from his front yard to backyard into a barrier of rosy barbed wire. Crystal chastised me for pruning my pomegranates along the back fence out of fear that they were too tall and might be shading her tomatoes too much: "No, I like them. And if you cut them back I won't be able to pick my own and I'll have to ask you to do it!" I call the section of the back fence I share with Kevin and Lisa the "gossip fence" because that is where we catch up on the latest news like Elviney and Loweezy in the "Snuffy Smith" comic strip. It could be called the "sharing fence" because we share plants across it. They also share plates of much-appreciated food with me there. They run a restaurant
ARTY Schronce's garden in Atlanta's Cabbagetown neighborhood
called Home Grown GA and use locally grown products whenever they can and even have a vegetable garden at the restaurant. Perhaps that is one reason they don't mind that the fence supports volunteer seedlings of cherry tomatoes that sprouted from last year's crop. If the birds leave any, we'll share those as well!
I care more about experimenting with unusual plants than I am interested in creating a perfect garden design, so I am always trying to squeeze something else into my garden. I also try to grow everything I can to attract butterflies and birds, creating a haven for them in a world that is becoming sterile with asphalt and concrete.
On good days my garden looks like it has a cottage garden design. On bad days it looks like a flora refugee camp with the huddled masses yearning to be liberated or a horticultural mosh pit with plants slamming against each other.
My neighbors are patient and forgiving as I try to keep my garden in check. Perhaps they appreciate what I am trying to do. Perhaps they are just laid-back and cool. Whatever the case, God bless them. Robert Frost wrote, "Good fences make good neighbors." I write, "Good neighbors help make gardening in Cabbagetown a pleasure."
Arty Schronce is the Department's resident gardening
expert. He is a lifelong gardener and a horticulture graduate
of North Carolina State University who lives and gardens in
Atlanta's historic Cabbagetown neighborhood. He encour-
ages everyone to share the pleasures of gardening with
friends, neighbors and anyone who is vaguely interested!
Department's online ag licensing process turns 1
By Dallas Duncan
The Department is charged with administering more than 70 types of licenses related to agriculture in the state of Georgia.
When the Department added its Licensing Division and moved the licensing process online in 2013, up to 850 licenses and permits could be processed per day, reducing the time to process a license "from weeks to hours or even minutes," according to division documentation.
"There are 18,000 licenses in food safety. For one person to transact that business, it would take 26 weeks to process the licenses without leave or breaks," said Dan Brown, chief information officer and director of administration for the Department. "That's not customer efficiency at all. [Online] was determined to be faster, friendlier and easier, and be more transparent and efficient for our customers."
The online process can take as little as five minutes if all documentation is provided, according to division documentation.
"Customer service was the motivation behind this effort and we are proud of our team for a wonderful job on a monumental task," Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said.
Licenses issued by the Department run the gamut, including
commercial pest applicators, grain dealers and cottage foods. Having licenses means the Department is able to ensure that equipment is being used properly, personnel are trained and individual products such as antifreeze in his division meet safety specifications, said Rich Lewis, Fuel and Measures Division director.
Licenses handled in his division include gas pumps at retail service stations, scale service agencies, moisture meters, certified public weighers for commercial scales and antifreeze brands.
"As of July 22, we have 177,776 devices at 8,074 service stations," Lewis said. "It's $18 per device and that's an annual fee."
A state House Bill passed several years ago allowed gas pumps to have a licensing fee. That same year, the Department's budget was cut and the Fuel and Measures Division had about $2 million to recoup, so the fee was put in place to help ease that loss, Lewis said.
"As far as the fee for the gas pumps, those ensure that we are able to continue to do good, quality testing at the lab to test the quality of fuel, which is a big help to the service stations," he said. "That made sure we were able to continue with our inspection of pumps to make sure they weren't losing fuel."
Had the fees not been enacted for licenses, many of the Department's services would have gone away, Lewis said.
Craig Nielsen, associate director for the Department's Food Safety Division, echoed his sentiments. The primary food safety license given by the Department is for food sales establishments, including grocery stores, bakeries and food manufacturing plants. The division also issues mobile vehicle food licenses, wholesale fish dealer licenses, dairy permits and shellfish certificates, Nielsen said.
The licensing fees go to the state's general fund and are appropriated back to the Department to run regulatory programs, he said. Until the state legislature decided otherwise about four years ago, it was the taxpayers that were paying for the services now covered by licensing fees.
"We went for many years where you had to have a license, but there was no fee associated with that," Nielsen said. "All of our appropriated funds came out of taxpayer dollars. So when they changed it and made it so we could recuperate the license fees, it puts the burden on the industry as opposed to the taxpayers."
The fees are paid using a secure website, and the creation of the Licensing Division also allowed for a customer call center to answer questions regarding licensing and agricultural tax exemptions. Now that all of the licenses are online, the next step will be to develop a process where a licensee can purchase multiple licenses online in a "one-stop shop," Brown said. He said he anticipates this feature being in place by 2016.

Native crabs dominate Georgia's wild-caught seafood industry
By Dallas Duncan
Editor's Note: This is the second story in a series on Georgia's seafood industry. Next issue, read up on Georgia's farm-raised fish and shellfish.
There's a wide variety of native sea life commercial fishermen can catch.
Whiting and flounder are two common fin fish brought in from state waters, which run from the beach to three miles out at sea, said Julie Califf, marine biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Coastal Resources Division. In federal waters, which go three to 60 miles offshore, fishermen catch mackerel, wahoo and a number of species that fall into the snapper-grouper complex, said Charlie Phillips, Georgia councilman for the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council.
"We don't freeze our fish. They come in fresh. Normally boats will stay out anywhere
from two and three days, possibly as long as a week," Phillips said. "The fish are already gutted, they're packed in ice. They're shipped within a day or two of getting in the dock."
Even with the wide variety, fin fish do not make up a large portion of the state's wildcaught seafood industry.
"Georgia is not much of a fish state," Califf said. "Most of what you would see in a market would be bycatch from a shrimp trawl."
What Georgia does have in terms of wildcaught seafood, however, are crabs and cannonball jellyfish. Cannonball jellyfish has been a fishery a term used for the entire industry involving a specific fish or shellfish in Georgia for about 11 years, Califf said.
"In the last couple of years it's really garnered an interest in people from different areas. We even have people come from Alaska and California interested in setting up jellyfish operations here," she said. "They're preliminarily processed here and dried and sent over-
seas. They're very popular in Asian markets." And crabs are very popular in American
markets some Georgia crustaceans are sent all the way to the Chesapeake area.
"Crabbing is the No. 2 by value fish we have and No. 1 by pound," Califf said. "It's the largest volume fishery we have in terms of poundage of animals and it's the second-most valuable."
Georgia has more than 130 licensed crabbers, she said. The primary species caught are the blue and stone crabs.
"A blue crab that has just molted is considered a soft-shell crab. A soft shell crab, you take the whole thing and deep-fry it and consume shell, body, the whole thing that's on the crab," said Cameron Ako, crabbing excursion leader for Credle's Adventures in Brunswick, Ga. "They're a darker color, kind of a greenish-brown shell. Their bottoms are a pasty white color and then they have bright blue coloring on their legs and on their claws."
The stone crab has claws close to the size of its body.
"You can just break off his claw and throw him back in the water," Ako said. "He will regrow that claw, so it doesn't hurt the population and doesn't hurt the species."
Commercial crabbers use rotted chicken necks or backs to attract crabs into steel or aluminum traps that sit in the water for several days. Crabs caught commercially must be at least 3.5 inches wide, Ako said.
Though the number of commercial fisherman and crabbers has decreased in the last few years, Califf and Phillips don't see the industry going anywhere anytime soon.
"There's definitely still money to be made," Califf said. "The cards are definitely stacked against them, but the people who are creative, like the people who added the sideline of doing jellyfish a few years ago ... the folks who are going to have a lot of ingenuity, are the ones that are going to prevail and survive."
UGA researchers discover new bacteria in Georgia onion fields
By Dallas Duncan
Ron Gitaitis, plant pathology professor at the University of Georgia, sees a lot of yellow these days: it's the color that signifies the presence of a new bacteria species on Vidalia Onions.
"There's a lot of unique things about this pathogen that's never been seen in onions before. We're still really at the very basic level of finding out information on this disease," said Cliff Riner, UGA Vidalia Onion area Extension agent.
Yellow bud has been spotted in Georgia fields for several years now, but he estimates less than one percent of the vegetable plants are infected. The 2014 crop was the lightest infection on record, Riner said.
"You may see 20 plants in a field of two million. The thing about the disease, it's so bright yellow it's easy to spot. It might be one plant and you look around 100 yards around you and that might be the only plant that's got it," he said.
Yellow bud, caused by a species of Pseudomonas bacteria, causes onions to develop bright yellow leaves, which Gitaitis said is its most striking symptom. The yellow coloration
is caused by a toxin that grows on the leaf's surface and destroys chlorophyll, a green pigment that allows plants to absorb energy from light during photosynthesis, Gitaitis said. If the weather is right, an infected plant can grow out of the disease and reproduce the lost chlorophyll.
"Mainly it stunts bulb development. Bulbs are generally smaller in affected plants, but it doesn't rot the bulb like many other diseases. The bulb is still healthy," he said. "If it grows out of it, the plants are edible. They're harvestable and a lot of times you'll never know you had the disease."
The potential for yield loss comes in if infected plants do not grow out of the disease.
"If [the toxin] stays on the leaf long enough without remission, death of the tissues can occur. Now you've got necrosis, a dead leaf that turns brown," Gitaitis said. "What we see at this point then is secondary organisms can get into the dead tissue and get down into the bulb and cause bulb problems."
This is rare in the cases plant pathologists have seen so far. "It's not a big issue in most years," Gitaitis said. "We've escaped the secondary phase, the necrotic phase where the leaves
die. We encountered the right weather conditions where the plant has grown out of the toxic phase."
The research team believes that yellow bud is spread through the air: warm air rises, pulling bacteria off the leaf to float around like a balloon, Gitaitis said. If it rains or the bacteria are floating low enough to be caught during irrigation, the water drives them out of the air and onto plants, including weeds, where they live between onion crops.
Thus far, they have only tested short-day onions, like those grown in Georgia, for the disease.
"This bacterium likes cold conditions," he said. "Because the cool conditions exasperate the disease, probably you're not going to see it in the onion growing areas that grow during the summer months because this thing gets more severe in the cooler temperatures."
Though instances of yellow bud have been found in a number of counties that grow Vidalia Onions, Riner assures producers there is no need to worry about their crops.
"We're watching it and it hasn't done anything to scare us yet," he said.
