BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2014 VOL. 97, NO. 19 COPYRIGHT 2014 Cultivated wild Southern grapes becoming a popular pick-your-own fall commodity By Dallas Duncan Louis Newsome, owner of Blue House Farm in Harlem, Ga., calls muscadines the "Redneck grape." "I always just describe it as the native Southern grape. It's distinctly different and you either like it or you won't," he said. "For those of us that grew up on them, we love the things." He grew up eating wild muscadines fresh from the vine. As a student at the University of Georgia, he was exposed to some of the improved varieties grown at an experiment station, and later worked with them as an Extension agent. After he and his wife Janice retired, they decided to incorporate muscadines into their pick-your-own farm. "We've got about 40 or 50 plants that are older plants, and we just tried them out to see which ones we liked," he said. "It was just a natural thing, and we were looking for something that somebody else would pick that we didn't have to." Another bonus for muscadines is that they don't require spraying. "We're not organic, but it's still good to not have to spray," Janice Newsome said. "You can encourage tasting in the field if you know they haven't been sprayed." Tasting is the best way to determine which of the many varieties consumers and future farmers prefer. "They have a really great flavor to them, but they have seeds, so a lot of people would rather go to the store and buy something that didn't have seeds in it. But even the best grapes from out in California, to me, don't have the unique flavor Vines of muscadines line the roadside at Harlem, Ga.'s Blue House Farm you-pick operation. Muscadines are growing in popularity as a fall agritourism draw. Photo by Dallas Duncan these do," said David Lane, the inspiration for growing pickyour-own muscadines at Lane Southern Orchards in Fort Valley, Ga. The different types of muscadines, which range in color from a patina-covered chartreuse green to a deep indigo, each have a slightly different flavor. The Newsomes grow six different varieties, including three pollinators. Pollinators have both male and female parts and are necessary to ensure oth- er varieties grow properly, Louis Newsome said. However, they're not as sweet, which makes them popular for wine as opposed to jellies. "The best jelly in the world is muscadine jelly," Janice Newsome said. "There are muscadine cobblers and pies, kind of old-fashioned. They're probably just best enjoyed as fresh fruit, unless you're wanting to make them not so nutritious." Erin Boettger, director of safety and finished good sales for Paulk Vineyards in Wray, Ga., said muscadines are one of the healthiest grapes. "We use them in all of our products," she said. "Paulk Vineyards does fresh sales and muscadine products that take some of those [culls]. We make juices, concentrates, even neutraceutical powders." Paulk Vineyards is the oldest and one of the largest muscadine vineyards in the world, Boettger said. As a native plant, they don't have a lot of pests, and "grow perfectly" in Georgia. Growing muscadines isn't difficult, it just takes some homework, Louis Newsome said. "No. 1, find out what variety you like," he said. "You've got to know about pollinators and also know about pruning, training, trellising; once you kind of get it there, it's not that difficult." When growing for a you-pick farm, Janice Newsome said to advertise both muscadines and scuppernongs, the name many consumers call bronze muscadines but they are the same fruit. All scuppernongs are muscadines, but not all mus- See MUSCADINES, page 7 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Farmland rent or lease ads.........2 Take 5..........................................6 Arty's Garden............................... 7 Visit with a Vet...........................12 Notice Deadline to submit ads for the Oct. 29 issue is noon, Oct. 15. Forestry Commission ramps up awareness efforts on emerald ash borers By Dallas Duncan Ten Georgia counties were declared no-fly zones this year not for planes, but for an invasive beetle species that's wreaking havoc on ash trees nationwide. Emerald ash borer was discovered in the US in 2003 and Georgia in 2013, said Mike Evans, plant protection program director for the Department. "What we have been trying to do is work with the Forestry Commission and the [University of Georgia] to put information out there to make them aware of this pest," Evans said. "Both the Department and the Forestry Commission have regulatory authority, so we've adopted a quarantine." Whitfield, Fulton, DeKalb, Walton, Henry, Clayton, Newton, Cobb, Gwinnett, Fayette and Rockdale counties are under quarantine regulations for the movement of ash trees and materials, said Chip Bates, forest health coordinator The emerald ash borer has been killing ash trees across the US since 2003. It was found last year in Georgia and this year, a 10-county quarantine was initiated to help stop the beetle's man-assisted spread. Photo courtesy Kent Loeffler, Cornell University for the Georgia Forestry Commission. Ash trees and materials can only be moved from those 10 counties to an outside area between November and March, the months when emerald ash borers are less active, Bates said. Those movers must also obtain a permit. Ash can be moved freely within the regulated coun- ties, and in counties outside the regulation zone, year-round. "The idea is, where it's been found, we'll try to stop the man-assisted movement," Evans said. "We know we can't stop the natural spread, so let's try to stop the man-assisted spread." A major part of that spread comes from transporting firewood. "The law does not say that you cannot, as a private citizen, transport firewood from one area to another, but as a good environmental steward of the land, our citizens do not need to transport firewood from one area to another," Bates said. "They need to buy it where they burn it." The Forestry Commission began contacting mills and lumber movers to bring them into a compliance agreement for handling ash material and trees from one of Georgia's regulated counties, Bates said. These materials can be See ASH, page 12 Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Southern Valley Produce farm continues to grow family legacy By Beth Mohler, fall intern Southern Valley is a female-owned and family operated farm that has been growing, packing and shipping its own produce since 1987. The farm, which is based in Norman Park, Ga., consists of more than 2,700 acres of Georgia produce, also has farms located in Yucatn, Mexico, and Tennessee. Though it can be described as a large progressive operation, Southern Valley strives to be innovative as well as staying true to its roots, said Southern Valley Public Relations Representative Katie Murray. Southern Valley grows a wide variety of crops, with a major focus on pole-grown cucumbers. These are cucumbers that are staked in the field versus vines running along the earth, Murray said. "This allows us to get multiple cuttings from each cucumber planting and also produces a higher quality cucumber since the cucumber is kept off the ground," she said. The farm also grows many varieties of squash, cabbage, bell peppers, green beans, sweet corn and several types of hot peppers. "We started with a foundation of integrity, hard work, and family values and that's how we continue to operate today," Murray said. The conventional family operation began with only 400 acres of produce. Despite the losses of his father and brother, founder Kent Hamilton and his mother, Wanda Hamilton-Tyler, continued on with the farm and grew it to the size it is today. Though it is a large farm, the Southern Valley family remains a family unit, as Hamilton's oldest children still assist in its operations. Southern Valley joined the Georgia Grown program at the gold level because its owners feel it will be a valuable tool to promote the farm, while at the same time raising the profile of Georgia agriculture and its impact on the community and economy, Murray said. "It is the backbone of Georgia's economy and as a Georgian, agriculture is not just our history, but our future as well," she said.

Tell us a little about your agricultural background. I was blessed to have a mid- dle school ag teacher who got me really excited about agriculture. He actually helped get me into raising and showing hogs, and taught me how much hard work and dedication goes into grow- ing crops, raising livestock and MOHLER running a farm. I also benefitted from more than 10 years involvement with the National FFA Organization, which helped me build a foundation in the agribusiness world. 2. Why did you want to intern with the Department and the Market Bulletin? Aside from the fact that it's an amazing opportunity to use all of the skills that I have been developing for the past four years as an agricultural communication student at the University of Georgia, I am super interested in the way that consumers form their opinions about farm commodities and the marketing practices that farms employ. I felt like this internship would give me a real glimpse into some of the practices that Georgia farmers are able to employ. 3. What part of the internship are you most excited about? The entire experience excites me, but if I had to nail down one thing it's just being in the office and getting to actually write and edit things for the Market Bulletin. I don't have as much newswriting experience as I do magazine work, but this feels like a great way for me to get some! 4. Many of your extracurricular activities in college revolve around agriculture. Which of these experiences stands out most in your mind and why? There are two in particular that made the biggest impact on me: my involvement with Sigma Alpha, the professional agricultural sorority, and my job at the UGA Dairy. Through Sigma Alpha I found some of my best friends, and it's wonderful to have a strong support base that feels as strongly about agriculture as I do. Work at the dairy is some of the dirtiest I have ever done, but it's also the most rewarding. Helping take care of baby cows, and even assisting in delivering calves is not something that I would ever have imagined doing, but it really is a labor of love and I know after graduation it's going to break my heart to leave my babies behind. 5. If you could design your last meal using only Georgia-grown commodities, what would you like to eat? Since it's my last meal I'm going all out! A fresh chicken and blueberry salad with strawberry vinaigrette and fresh produce, all from my beloved south Georgia sounds the best. And since I have the world's biggest sweet tooth, I would end it with ice cream, made from Georgia produced milk of course, and my Granny B's brandied peaches. Beth Mohler is the fall 2014 intern for the Market Bulletin and the Department communications team. She is an agricultural communications major at UGA with a minor in food and fiber marketing and a leadership in service certificate. Mohler plans to graduate in May 2015. GUEST COLUMN: Seed germination testing The seed allowed our ancestors to have an alternative to hunting for food. The grain and many of the forage crops required for animal agriculture start from the seed. Peanuts, cotton, corn, soybeans, peaches and pecans start from seed. Seed is the foundation for much of production agriculture. A germination seed test determines the maximum germination potential, or HOBBY viability, of the seed. Why do a germination test? The germination rate of a particular seed lot is a key indicator as to how that seed will perform in the field. Germination rate is expressed as a percentage: a 90 percent germination rate means 90 out of 100 seeds are likely to germinate under good growing conditions. This information is important for calculating optimal seeding rates, as well as helping to determine whether a particular seed lot has the potential to produce a good crop, or should be used at all. How is a germination test done? All accredited seed testing laboratories in the US use germination test methods prescribed in the Methods and Procedures manual published by the Association of Official Seed Analysts. The testing methods used in a laboratory are controlled so the tests can be repeated, either within the lab- oratory or between laboratories. Conditions such as oxygen, light, moisture and temperature have been standardized for every crop type to ensure that germination will take place within a specific period of time. The seeds for planting (testing) are taken at random, then evenly spaced on a blot- ter so that they are not in contact with adjacent seeds. At the Georgia Seed Lab, we ensure that all substrates, containers and moistening agents are free from phytotoxic properties. At the end of the test period, seedlings are evaluated and categorized as follows*: v Normal: Seedlings that possess essential structures that are indicative of their ability to produce useful mature plants under favorable field conditions v Abnormal: Seedlings that exhibit some form of growth, but have insufficient plant structures to maintain a healthy plant, such as missing roots or shoots v Dormant seeds: Viable seeds (other than hard seeds) that fail to germinate when given the prescribed or recommended germination conditions. v Hard seeds: Seeds that remain hard at the end of the prescribed test period, because their seed coats are impermeable to water v Dead seeds: Seeds that cannot produce any part of a seedling. An experienced and knowledgeable seed analyst is vital in being able to recognize deficiencies with germination and reporting the results. They can also offer alternative methods and solutions to improve germination results, especially when there have been challenges with harvest conditions for the seed lot in question. Farmers should adhere to the following steps in order to have seed tested at the state seed laboratory: v Send one to two pounds of any large seed, such as soybeans, peanuts or corn, and about one-half to onequarter pound, depending on seed size, of smaller seed. v Include the kind and variety, lot number or other identifying mark, along with your full name, address and telephone number. For greater efficiency in receiving your laboratory report, include your email address. v Mail seed samples in a cardboard box or similar container to protect them. v Allow one to four weeks for testing to be completed, depending on the kind of seed. v Send seed to: Georgia Department of Agriculture Tifton Laboratory Building, PO Box 1507, 3150 Hwy. 41 South, Tifton, GA 31793. Those individuals desiring to advertise agricultural seed for sale through the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin are advised to check the guidelines under the category heading "ag seed for sale" before submitting their advertisements for publication. Scott Hobby is the Department's seed regulatory program director. For questions regarding seed testing, please contact 229-386-3151 or visit the Plant Industry Division website at www.agr.georgia.gov/seed-fertilizer-feed.aspx. agriCULTURE Letter from the editor I'm not sure how many of y'all know this, but every ad that goes into the Market Bulletin is seen by two people on our staff for editing, whether it's a two-row Covington planter or a wanted ad for Egyptian walking onion bulbs. We also double-check to make sure each advertiser is a subscriber, and each subscriber places one ad per issue. Whenever there's a potential problem or an ad does not meet our requirements for advertising, we contact the advertiser and let them know. In the past year and two months of proofing ads, I've come across a number of things that I figured I should share. I think if one person has questions or confusion, there's someone else who could benefit from hearing the solutions: * Questions about advertising? Page two of every issue (except for the calendar edition, in which case I believe these come out on page three) has most of the answers! Flip the page back for me and take a peek at the top lefthand corner for advertiser guidelines. This is where you'll find general guidelines for all ads, plus information on how to submit ads and where to send them in. You can also find specific category guidelines periodically published in the print edition, but always on our website at www.thegamarketbulletin. com. You can call our office Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., if you feel neither of these resources answers your question. * Absolute no-nos: Vehicles, ATVs, pet breeds like dogs and cats, free animals and general livestock (i.e. "horses for sale" versus "Two geldings and one Percheron mare for sale") just don't fly in the Market Bulletin. And if there's not a primary farm use for what you're selling, we're going to call you, find out how it's used on your farm and make sure that is clarified in the ad. Let me back up and talk about vehicles and ATVs. I have been on tons of farms where four-wheelers are used, and yep, everyone's got a favorite farm truck. But we don't have the manpower to make sure that all vehicles and ATVs are used only for the farm. Sure, you can use them on your farm, but I happen to know a great number of boys and girls that use them to haul people to and from fraternity houses on Saturday nights in Athens instead of hauling hay. The same goes for four-wheelers and other such vehicles. There just is no feasible way to prove these items have primary on-farm use, so we do not allow them to be advertised. Plus, unlike many of the things sold through the Market Bulletin, there is a plethora of other outlets for these vehicles to be advertised in local newspapers, Iwanta classifieds and online. We don't get so many dog and cat ads lately, but we do contact a fair few folks who send in ads for free or general livestock. These are no-nos because of state regulations around the sale of animals. * Top 10 words that come up under spell-checker: Allis Chalmers, Troy-Bilt, Wood-Mizer, TimberKing, Bush Hog, Gelbvieh, SimAngus, Charolais, Boer and EPDs (no apostrophe). Runners-up include semen-tested (not seamen, although I do chuckle at the thought of some poor Navy officer doing a breeding soundness exam), wether and gilt. * One last thing ... One ad per subscriber per issue. It comes down to space. If Vince Dooley himself tried to sell cattle, pigs and irises under three different ad categories using three different phone numbers, even a Dawgloving fan such as myself would have to put on the defensive. As much as it might make me happy to call Steve Spurrier and tell him we can't run his tractor ad because Dooley had three ads running and we are out of room ... as a professional, I must abide by the rules set in place and make the Market Bulletin classifieds a fair playing field for all. All that said, a huge thanks from myself and our fabulous staff, Merlissa Smith and Gerrie Fort, to our nearly 41,000 subscribers for supporting the Market Bulletin through reading, buying and selling. Without you, this "little paper" (as some callers like to refer to it) would be plumb broke, and people would resort to selling horses on the side of the road. With their Coggins attached, of course.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2014 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 PAGE 7 Ag officials announce efforts to create Georgia pollinator stewardship program Joe Quick, a master beekeeper and entomology researcher for the University of Georgia, checks on his honeybee hives set up at the UGA-Griffin Campus. These hives will help pollinate the blueberry research plots visible in the background. Photo by Dallas Duncan By Dallas Duncan Honeybees are major players in Georgia agriculture but reports of falling hive numbers continue to buzz into the media. Derrick Lastinger, structural pest control program director for the Department, said officials recently began engaging stakeholders to create a Georgia pollinator protection management plan to address these issues. "A lot of insecticides will kill bees," Lastinger said. "That's one thing that we're working on. [The Environmental Protection Agency] has put new restrictions on pesticides to protect pollinators. At the national level, we've worked with EPA on making those restrictions workable, so the industry can apply pesticides when they need to, but understand the restrictions because they don't want to kill bees." Another topic of discussion is colony collapse disorder. With colony collapse, there are no dead or diseased bodies the colony has "simply absconded," said Mike Evans, plant protection program director for the Department. The theories regarding colony collapse are endless: cell phone towers, verroa mites, alien abduction and pesticide use are the most wellknown, said Joe Quick, a master beekeeper and research professional with the University of Georgia's Entomology Department in Griffin, Ga. "What you usually find with colony collapse disorder, most of the times you'll still find a queen in the hive, a lot of times you'll find emerging babies, but the majority of your workforce just isn't there anymore," Quick said. "It's not like a pesticide kill where you find lots of dead bees. It's like they flew off to go to work and never came back." There's a big difference between an acute kill and colony collapse, said Tommy Gray, Plant Industry Division director for the Department. He said the Department is looking at what other states are doing to increase communication between beekeepers, agriculture officials and pesticide applicators to minimize pesticides' potential effects on Georgia honeybees. One idea is to put GPS locators on hives, so pesticide applicators can view hive locations on an interactive online map. "One of the big things is still a question mark: is the insecticide a problem?" Quick said. "It may or may not, because there's no definitive answer, no smoking gun to what's causing colony collapse disorder." Neonicotinoid insecticides raise red flags as potential causes for colony collapse. These are systemic treatments, meaning the chemical is poured into the soil or sprayed, picked up by the plant's roots and stays in the plant longer, Quick said. "There are safe manners to use it, such as spraying late in the evening or early in the morning," he said. "You don't want to spray in the middle of the day when your pollinators are out there on flowers." Gray said he already sees improvement on combined efforts inspectors are better able to provide beekeepers information on what may have happened to their hive and what they can do differently in the future. "One of the major recommendations that anyone's going to give is to only use products according to label directions only use products labeled for bees and only use them when labeled," Evans said. "And try to do things to strengthen the colony it may be supplementing food during the winter or leaving honey for them to eat. A lot of it is bee management when we get back to any type of pest application." MUSCADINES: Native Southern grape vines easy to cultivate, maintain From Page 1 cadines are scuppernongs, which Louis Newsome said is akin to brand awareness. "When I was a kid, all refrigerators were Frigidaires. It didn't matter what brand it was, we called it a Frigidaire because they were so much out in front of the others," he said. "Scuppernongs were the first bronze, or light-skinned ones. It was the only one for so long that everyone started calling the bronze ones scuppernongs." He said the couple does everything they can to advertise and market their farm in the Augusta, Ga., area, even purchasing a special scuppernong sign. He said different customers are drawn to different advertising methods and products. "For muscadines, print media works better, at least that's been our experience," Louis Newsome said. "But you gotta do it all. You gotta make it where they want to go tell somebody else, too. And Facebook don't even open up without a Facebook page." Janice Newsome said the social media re- sponse to Blue House Farm was tremendous. "It was amazing. And they shared with each other they would go and tell other people about it, and that was really good," she said. Lane said the best way for farmers to market muscadines to people who don't know about them is to take the fruit to local, independent grocery stores and share what they grow. Boettger, who'd never tried a muscadine before starting her job, said the grapes can be marketed as a superfood. She said the nutritional benefits of muscadines, which include antioxidants and polyphenols, will help it grow in popularity. "Our season is so short, but they're very popular for the two months they're in season," Boettger said. "We're just very excited to see each year how more and more people are interested in muscadines. It's a very exciting time to be in the muscadine industry." ARTY'S GARDEN: Does anyone know the elusive cabbage pea? NUMEROUS types of Southern peas are grown in Georgia. Shown here are the cream peas from Calhoun Produce in Ashburn, Ga. However, no one seems to be able to locate the Southern pea known as the "cabbage pea." Is anyone familiar with "cabbage peas?" I have had two correspondents looking for them: A man from north Florida: "My grandparents used to purchase them at feed and seed stores in south Georgia. They were plentiful in the '40s, '50s and '60s, but now I cannot find them. People remember them, but no one knows where to get any. They are a type of field pea, Southern pea that is very tasty, green with a darker green eye and small like a Lady pea. The plants grew about waist high. Can you help me?" A woman from Macon: "I grew up shelling and eating this pea in middle Georgia. It was my favorite of all the peas we preserved each year!" (She mentioned that she had not seen the pea since the early '70s and has looked for them from Macon to Americus.) "My mother is 72 now, and it would be the best surprise that I can possibly think of for her! Not to mention, my daughter, who has only heard about it and how it just vanished on us, would finally see what we've raved and whined about all these years!" I was unfamiliar with cabbage peas but did some checking. I found other people online were also looking, but not having any luck. I could not find any ads for them or articles about them in old issues of the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. I could not find them listed in any seed catalog, including ones that specialize in old vegetable varieties. I contacted companies that offer a lot of old and "heirloom" vegetable varieties, but couldn't find them. A colleague checked the Seed Savers Exchange's yearbook archives for the last 30 years and could not find them there, at least under that name there is a chance that "cabbage pea" is a Georgia name for a variety more widely known by another name. Cabbage peas also were not on the list of US Department of Agriculture Southern pea introductions, but that could be because they probably are an old variety that was not developed by a university or commercial breeder. So, I struck out and am now appealing to Market Bulletin readers. If anyone knows a source for cabbage peas or more information about them, please contact me at the address or email address listed below. Other gardeners want to grow and preserve this variety, and perhaps some seed companies and farmers will want to as well.

FEATURE RECIPE: Muscadine-glazed chicken Editor's Note: Engulf your senses in this restaurant-quality dish, made with none other than Georgia's native grape! We served this dish with a side of apple sausage stuffing and fresh-sliced apples and muscadines. You can see this dish prepared right in front of your eyes at the Georgia Grown Building during the Georgia National Fair next month! Ingredients: 4 boneless chicken breasts 2 cups muscadines 1 cup water 1 teaspoon orange zest 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste Instructions: 1. Wash muscadines. Combine them with water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Cover, then lower to a simmer. 2. Cook muscadines until skins burst and the sauce begins to thicken, about 15 minutes. Strain the seeds and skins out, then return sauce to pot. 3. Add orange juice and zest and bring sauce back to a boil. Lower again to a simmer, then cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skill over medium-high heat. 5. Sear chicken breasts on both sides, then cook until chicken reaches an inter- nal temperature of 170 degrees. This should take 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of breasts. 6. Slice cooked chicken and serve with sauce drizzled over the top.

The series culminates next issue with a look at some of the state's top seafood restaurants and chefs. There's a step before fresh seafood can go from the ocean onto a restaurant menu: processing. Sidney Shepherd, seafood compliance manager for the Department, said there are about 220 licensed wholesale fish and seafood processors in Georgia. Though other government agencies regulate fishing and farmed fishing, the Department comes into play during processing. "By processing, I mean freezing or putting a knife to it, gutting and heading, those types of things," Shepherd said. "We require the basic requirements from sanitation that you would expect to see in a processing plant, which would include hot and cold running water, sinks to clean your equipment in, adequate drying and sewage and clean water to process and make ice with." One of Georgia's unique seafood processors is Golden Island International in Darien. There, cannonball jellyfish, or jellyballs, are processed to fill a growing export market need, company representative April Harper said. The jellyfish are unloaded, separated top from bottom and go through a washing system. "We wash the slimy residue off the jellyballs, and then we go through and put them in a brine solution," Harper said. "They sit in a brine solution for up to seven days. During that time the salt and alum seep into the jellyfish and they cure them. Basically you have a dried, salted jellyfish at the end." In 2013, 50 million pounds of jellyfish came through the facility. The markets for jellyfish are China and Japan. Jellyballs processed in Darien come from Georgia and Gulf waters the latter are a higher quality because of the clearer water they filter, Harper said. The product has to be rehydrated before it hits the plate, she said. The protein takes on the flavor of what it's cooked with, and surprisingly has a crunchy texture, though many assume jellyfish would be rubbery. Georgia is also home to a Chicken of the Sea tuna canning facility in Lyons, as well as some of the nation's top fish and seafood wholesalers. One of those is Inland Seafood in Atlanta. "We've been in the fresh seafood business since 1979," said Bill Demmond, Inland Seafood's chief operating officer. "Sixty to 65 percent of our sales are still fresh fish." On any given day, the company has an inventory that's six legal-size pages long, single-spaced. "We carry anything that you would imagine in fresh fish, frozen fish and seafood," Demmond said. "Some of our biggest sellers are salmon, both wild and farm-raised, tuna and swordfish." Inland Seafood's customers are restaurants and major retail grocery stores. Their products come from Southeastern boats, the West Coast and overseas, but no matter where they come from, Demmond said everything is treated with the highest level of food safety in mind, from the moment it reaches their unloading dock to the second it gets loaded on delivery trucks. Fish are custom-cut to customer specifications, he said. Inland Seafood's process is similar to what happens on the seafood line at Buckhead Beef in College Park, Ga. Richard Blahnik, Buckhead Beef's vice president of operations and human resources, estimates about 40,000 pounds of fresh seafood comes through each week. "We bring in seafood from all over the world. Primarily, most of it comes in with what we call a day boat," Blahnik said. "We have vendors down there who are actual fishermen who own fleets of boats. Whatever comes in, we buy the boat. It is put on a truck and it deadheads straight to our facility." He said the turnaround time for seafood customers is so fast, a fish could be caught, processed, boxed, iced and delivered within about a day. Demmond said processors are a vital part of Georgia's food industry. "We're filling a need for the consumer," he said. "A lot of the product we sell is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which a lot of doctors report is good for heart health. Plus, we're specialists in a part of the food chain that scares most of the public a lot of people don't like cooking fish at home because they just don't know how. Part of my job is to educate the consumer on how to cook fish. That's kind of where we fit in." ASH: Multi-county quarantine in effect to minimize spread of beetle through human transport From Page 1 kiln-dried, chipped into paper or turned into mulch, which ensures the emerald ash borer cannot infest them anymore. A key symptom of infestation is "heavy decline," where multiple limbs near the treetop start to die quickly, Bates said. "It's a very inconspicuous mortality. It looks like a tree limb is dying; it looks like decline from drought; it looks like almost any other disease that we deal with, but now that we know that emerald ash borer is in the area, you should be a little more suspicious when an ash tree starts to show signs of mortality," he said. Emerald ash borers are caught in purple prism traps, Bates said. Once in the trap, they're easy to identify. "The adults are very colorful," said Rick Hoebeke, a research professional with the Georgia Museum of Natural History in Athens, Ga. "Emerald ash borer is somewhat unique in its coloration. The wing covers, head and thorax are generally a bright metallic green. The abdomen is kind of an off-copper red. It's very distinctive." They work by destroying ash trees from the inside out. "In the spring of the year, they actually emerge out of the tree, and the female goes onto the tree and lays its eggs. The larvae drill back into the tree and feed right up under the bark," Bates said. As the larvae feed, they drill a characteristic serpentine pattern into the tree, he said. "That's one of the things we look for. When you get a lot of those little larvae feeding, the s-shaped galleries intertwine at some point and start to cut off the flow of water to the tree. That's what causes the tree to decline," Bates said. Though ash only makes up 2 percent of Georgia's forest stand, the species is a valuable hardwood and shade tree, Bates said. He said there are some insecticides that can be injected into trees for both preventative and proactive treatment against the beetle. The good news for Georgia is, the beetle does not affect the state's other major tree species, Bates said, and with the help of consumers statewide, the potentially devastating effects of the emerald ash borer could be significantly lessened. "Our job is to work with the people in the state of Georgia to conserve the natural resources we have in the state, so we can continue to maintain the native species we have," Bates said. VISIT WITH A VET: Cattle health alert Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this monthly feature. This edition comes from Dr. Lee Jones of the Tifton Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. I received a few calls from farmers who lost cattle in the last few weeks. If possible, I recommend having any animal that dies suddenly with unknown causes to have a thorough necropsy, or autopsy, done by a veterinarian or delivered to one of the University of Georgia diagnostic labs in Athens or Tifton. There are few common causes of sudden death in livestock that farmers and their veterinarians need to be aware of this time of year. Anaplasmosis Anaplasmosis is caused by a parasite that attacks the red blood cells of cattle. Infected cattle become anemic, feverish and may die. Subtle symptoms include getting tired quickly. If an animal wants to lay down or lag behind the herd while being moved, check its mucous membranes, including the gums or vulva in cows, to see if they are pale. Anaplasmosis affects adults more than calves. In some cases it can cause abortion or weak calves in heavy-bred cows. Typically, animals die one or two here and there, a few days apart. It is diagnosed by using a blood smear. Cattle are very valuable these days, so have blood samples taken of all cows found down, but still alive. Blood samples can tell us if the problem is only with the individual cow or might affect more in the herd. Blue-green algae toxicity With low rainfall our ponds are getting lower. This is an ideal environment for a blue-green algal bloom. Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacter, produce toxins. Some of these toxins are fast-acting and can kill an animal shortly after drinking. If you find dead livestock or wildlife near water get other animals away from the water source and have the carcasses necropsied as soon as possible. Dead animals may decompose quickly during hot days and be useless information. Cyanobacter can also be deadly to humans and pets, so suspect water should be avoided by all. Suspicious water can be tested for microscopic algae and toxins such as mycrocystin. Perilla mint In late summer and early fall, plants such as perilla mint might be all that is green. Cows that eat large amounts of perilla mint can experience a severe respiratory attack that might resemble asthma or choking. They will have difficulty breathing and may get panicky. Their mucous membranes turn blue because they can't get enough oxygen. If you find perilla in your pastures, it needs to be sprayed and cows kept off until it is dead and withered. Antibiotics aren't helpful because it isn't caused by an infection, so treatment involves anti-inflammatories and steroids to open airways. Severely affected cattle often die. Nitrates Although it is a little early for nitrates, if there are a lot of nitrate-accumulating plants in your field, keep it in the back of your mind. Drought stress, applications of 2-4 D, recent fertilization and sulfur-deficient soils can be risk factors for plants to accumulate nitrates. Most animals succumb to nitrates before they can be treated, but intravenous injections of methylene blue is the best cure. Prussic acid Typically we think of prussic acid poisoning after a frost, but the same plants that accumulate nitrates can also have prussic acid, or cyanide. Plants that are stressed due to drought or sprayed with herbicide can also form prussic acid in the leaves and stems. Treatment for prussic acid is different than that of nitrate toxicity, but animals usually die too fast for treatment to be effective. If you have had sudden deaths in cattle it is important to find out why to determine the risk to the rest of the herd. Cattle are very valuable right now so diagnosing the problem can be money and time well-spent. Contact your local veterinarian or county Extension agent for more information on these and other diseases affecting cattle.
