Falling for cider: Food safety knowledge for a delicious seasonal beverage

By Thomas Burke
GDA Food Safety Division Intern
As autumn commences in earnest, we celebrate the changing of the seasons with food and drink from ripened pumpkins, squash, apples and the bounty of other Georgia Grown products.
"Georgia farmers produce more than a dozen varieties of apples," said Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. "Visiting one of Georgia's orchards for apple picking is a great family agritourism activity and cider is a seasonal favorite we can enjoy now into the winter."
The desire to be closest to the source of our food and have natural processing techniques is important for many Georgians; however, it is important to balance this with food safety. When it comes to apple cider, this means evaluating the pasteurization process of commercial cider and using safe practices when

making homemade cider. The making of cider relies on yeast, which is naturally present in apples, to ferment the freshly pressed apple juice. Pasteurization, or heat treating the juice, is a common practice and a regulatory requirement in Georgia to kill bacteria that may be incidentally introduced into the cider while it is being made.
In the last five years, unpasteurized cider has led to several serious foodborne illness outbreaks in the U.S. due to the presence of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Cryptosporidium pathogens found in unpasteurized or improperly pasteurized cider products. Pasteurization effectively kills these harmful bacteria during processing, making it safe for everyone to consume. The process especially helps protect children, the elderly, pregnant women and any chronically ill people who may be more vulnerable to becoming sick.
How can you address packaged apple cider safety concerns? Natalie Adan, Food Safety

Division Director with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, has the answer.
"Packaged juice that has not been pasteurized is required to be labeled with a consumer advisory statement for children, the elderly and persons with weakened immune systems," Adan said. "Unpasteurized cider is not required to be labeled as such when it's being sold single-serve, by the glass which many orchards, roadside stands and farmers markets may do. Always look for a label and, when in doubt, ask."
When making homemade cider, a few simple guidelines can dramatically reduce the risks of exposure to harmful bacteria. Always inspect the apples and avoid using any with visible signs of decay. Before making cider, start with clean hands, apples and equipment. Wash hands with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Wash apples thoroughly under cool running tap water, scrubbing with a

Georgia Grown Profile: Georgia Forestry Commission encourages the growth and conservation of forest lands

By Emani Odumosu
When the term "wildfire" is mentioned, most think of the western part of the country and the devastation caused there annually by forest fires. However, with more than 24 million acres of forest land here in Georgia, fires that get out of control can have just as heavy of an impact.
In 2011, more than 151,000 acres of Georgia's forestland was burned by wildfire. Preventing forest fires and conserving our state's forests is the primary focus of the Georgia Forestry Commission. The agency provides leadership, service and education in the protection and conservation of Georgia's forest resources.
"Georgia averages over 5,000 wildfires per year which occur mostly in rural areas," said Wendy Burnett, director of public relations.
Programs have been put in

place to enable the commission to achieve its goals. For instance, the Forest Management Department advises local owners and monitors their forests for pests and other harmful conditions. The Forest Protection Department responds to forest fires around the state.
The commission also reaches out to the public with education initiatives teaching wildfire safety and how to prevent wildfires.
"The easiest fire to control is the one that you prevent from happening in the first place," said Burnett. "The last two years have been our lowest fire season in our state's history."
When a forest fire is reported, 109 commission offices throughout the state are prepared to respond with wild land firefighters and equipment.

Wildfires in Georgia are most common during the dry winter months. Cases begin popping up in
late December. Reports start fizzling out around April. The positive side to this is that GFC is able to send teams to help when wildfires are heaviest out west.
Here at home, preventative efforts like prescribed burning keep understory vegetation contained so that wildfires can't burn out of control. Workers also plow containment lines around active wildfires to keep them from spreading. Preventing and extinguishing forest fires plays a huge role in maintaining Georgia's forests; however, rebuilding and repopulating can keep forests flourishing. The commission encourages planting by offering a wide array of hardwood and softwood bare root

seedlings as well as instructions on how to plant and care for them.
"I think the most important thing for people to know is what a big impact forestry has on the state of Georgia," said Burnett. "They provide the clean air, the clean water, what we call ecosystem services. Those services that aren't necessarily tangible, but we all benefit from them every day."
With forestry being such a big part of Georgia agriculture, taking part in the Georgia Grown program helps GFC continue to raise awareness about the importance of the state's forests.
"People don't always think of forestry as agriculture. It's a crop that landowners take great pride in and invest a lot of resources and time into," said Burnett. "[Georgia Grown] has helped bring more light from the agricultural community to forestry."

Guest Column: Protecting poultry from avian influenza is an ongoing effort in Georgia

By U.S. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga.
It is fitting that the "Eat Mor Chikin" slogan was developed by Georgia's chicken sandwich giant.
Poultry production pumps more than $28 billion dollars into our state's economy annually, making Georgia the top broiler-producing state in the country. In fact, if the Peach State were a country it would rank seventh in broiler production behind the United States, China, Brazil, India, Russia, and Mexico.
There is no denying the important role the poultry industry plays in our state's economy, which is why it is imperative our producers take the threat of infectious diseases like avian influenza very seriously.
Avian influenza occurs naturally in migratory waterfowl and is spread through direct contact with fluids from infected birds. The United States Department of Agriculture categorizes avian influenza by threat level: low-pathogenic avian influenza, which may only cause mild illness in domestic birds, and highly-pathogenic avian influenza, which causes severe disease and high mortality among domestic birds.
While avian influenza has not been contracted in Georgia, state partners first made initial preparations for the possibility of an outbreak in 2004 with the development of a response plan. This plan is reviewed and tested by tabletop and field training exercises multiple times a year.
The most recent American outbreak of highly-pathogenic avian influenza was found last December and traced to European migratory waterfowl last fall. Since the discovery of this highly-pathogenic case, 21 states have been affected by outbreaks with the loss of millions of chickens and turkeys. If something similar were to occur in Georgia, it could greatly impact our economy.
Fortunately, Georgia is a leader in agriculture innovation,

Dr. David E. Swayne, director of the National Poultry Research Center
in Athens, and U.S. Sen. David Perdue prior to a meeting of the Sen-
ate Agriculture Committee in Washington, D.C.
affording our poultry farmers with cutting-edge research and preventative options. Leading this effort is Dr. David Swayne, a renowned avian influenza expert and director of the National Poultry Research Center in Athens. Prior to the start of this year's migratory season, I invited Dr. Swayne to speak to the Senate Agriculture Committee about the research he is working on to prepare Southeastern farmers for potential outbreaks.
Our state's poultry community is working closely with experts like Dr. Swayne as well as our state Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, the Georgia Poultry Federation (GPF), and the Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network (GPLN) to prevent the spread of avian influenza. In fact, every commercial flock raised in Georgia is tested prior to processing at

GPLN that's about 300,000 birds a year. Undoubtedly, preventing contact with the disease is the
most important step in preventing an outbreak and Georgia farmers are working hard to keep their flocks healthy by adopting biosecurity practices and participating in continuing education programs outlined by the USDA and industry partners.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture, GPLN and GPF have all worked hard to present biosecurity information and best practices information to growers, both commercial and backyard. Care has also been taken to address other aspects of the poultry world such as repairmen, feed companies, utility companies, lenders, etc. In addition, the industry's "All In or All Gone" partnership (AllInAllGone.com) has joined with 11 states to share information and updates about potential avian influenza outbreaks.
Georgia's thorough response plan has been coordinated with GDA, GPLN, and USDA and includes all facets of a potential response, from communication of an initial infection to the disposal of broilers.
Overall, these preparedness efforts have helped safeguard Georgia's poultry industry. While we prepare for the worst case scenario, we are fortunate Commissioner Black and our poultry community are taking every preventative measure possible to prevent and if necessary, stop an outbreak so Georgia can keep producing and eating more chicken.
-United States Senator David Perdue is the junior senator from Georgia and serves on the Senate Committees on
Agriculture, the Budget, Foreign Relations, Judiciary, and
Special Committee on Aging. Prior to representing Georgia,
Senator Perdue was the CEO of Reebok athletic brand and

Sugar cane rises again in South Georgia

You can tell a true Southerner by the syrup they pour on their Saturday morning pancakes. If they reach for the maple syrup, their taste buds have clearly fallen to the Yankees. If they ask for cane syrup, well, bless their hearts and unlock the secret stash.
Cane syrup was once the sweetener of choice for everything from baked beans to barbecue sauce to cake, a "staple of everyone's home during the Depression and older times," according to Jeremy Anderson, a sugar cane grower in South Georgia.
Today cane syrup is a rarity in home pantries and a misnomer on grocery shelves.
"Most of it is loaded with cheap corn syrup," said Anderson, who works as program director of the Fish and Wildlife Program at the Southern Regional Technical College in Tifton.
Jeremy and his father, Nickey, are doing their part to restore sugar cane and cane syrup to their rightful prominence in Georgia. The pair has been growing sugar cane since Jeremy was in high school. They currently grow several varieties of green and also Georgia Red cane. At harvest time, they take their crop to the home of Steven Gordon, a family friend who inherited a cane mill from his grandfather. Once mule-powered, the mill is turned today by a riding lawnmower.
Gordon's farm is located in the Tibet Community right outside of Ludowici, and it's been in his family since the 19th century. In addition to the cane mill he's got an 80-gallon syrup kettle for boiling cane juice. Anderson said it takes about 800 stalks of sugar cane to make enough juice to fill the kettle.
Once full, the water is boiled out of the juice to make syrup. The boiler is fired with Longleaf fat lighter, and the yield on their October boiling was about 10 gallons of bottled syrup.
"It took about nine hours from grinding the cane at the mill to putting the syrup in the bottles," Anderson said.
It's hard work harvesting a acre of sugar cane, feeding it to the mill, grinding it, boiling the juice and bottling the syrup, but it's a labor of love.
"We make syrup because we like doing what our ancestors before us did," Anderson said. "We don't make any money off of it; we just enjoy keeping it going. Making cane syrup is kind of a lost art and if we don't keep doing it and keep getting people involved with it we are going to lose it."

Will Stanfield and Jeremy Anderson feed a variety of green cane into the mill to press the juice out. The juice is then transferred to an 80-gallon kettle where it's boiled to remove the water and make syrup.
Nickey and Jeremy Anderson with their acre sugar cane patch.

Boiling cane juice is a slow process that forces one to sit a spell and contemplate the heat.
Steven Gordon powers the mill that grinds the cane with his riding lawnmower. Gordon inherited the mill from his grandfather, who once used a mule to power the mill.
Jeremy Anderson skims the wax from the sugar cane that rises to the top of the juice as it boils in the kettle. The wax is a byproduct of grinding the cane.

Once the apples are in the process of becoming cider, pasteurize the liquid by heating it to at least 160 F for 60 seconds. Let the cider cool and always store it in the refrigerator. Cider should be used immediately and will stay good in the re-

frigerator for up to five days. It can be frozen for longer storage. For more tips, visit http://t.uga. edu/1RK and follow the GDA on Twitter @GDAFoodSafety.

Home Cooking: Georgia Grown Baked Brie

Don't give the gift of food poisoning

Food safety reminders for the holidays

Wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling any food.
Wash food-contact surfaces (cutting boards, dishes, utensils, countertops) with hot, soapy water before and after preparing each food item.
Rinse fruits and vegetables thoroughly under cool running water and use a produce brush to remove surface dirt.
Do not rinse raw meat and poultry before cooking in order to avoid spreading bacteria to areas around the sink and countertops.
Use a food thermometer to make sure meat, poultry, and fish are cooked to a safe internal temperature. To check a turkey for safety, insert a food thermometer into the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. The turkey is safe when the temperature reaches 165F. If the turkey is stuffed, the temperature of the stuffing should also be 165F.
Bring sauces, soups and gravies to a rolling boil when reheating.

Cook eggs until the yolk and white are firm. When making your own eggnog or other recipe calling for raw eggs, use pasteurized shell eggs, liquid or frozen pasteurized egg products, or powdered egg whites.
Don't eat uncooked cookie dough, which may contain raw eggs.
Refrigerate leftovers and takeout foods-- and any type of food that should be refrigerated, including pie--within two hours.
Thaw safely in the refrigerator, under cold running water, or in the microwave--never at room temperature. Cook food that has been thawed in cold water or in the microwave immediately.
Allow enough time to properly thaw food. For example, a 20-pound turkey needs four to five days to thaw completely in the refrigerator.
Leftovers should be used within three to four days, unless frozen.

farmers and consumers market Bulletin 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov

Produce distributors at the Atlanta State Farmers

Market open their doors to Chinese buyers

Where's the peach?

That was the burning

question on the minds of a

delegation of produce buy-

ers from China during a tour

Nov. 19 of the Atlanta State

Farmer's Market. The In-

ternational Trade Division

of the Georgia Department

of Economic Development

hosted the Shenzhen Ag-

ricultural Products Co. on

a scouting mission to seek

sources of Georgia produce

and seafood for import to

South China markets.

An introductory discus-

sion of the commodities for

which Georgia is ranked

No. 1 nationally puzzled the

group, however, because the

state fruit wasn't included on

the list.

Yong Pan, vice president of the Fruit

"We are visiting The Association of Shenzhen, with David

Peach State but nobody men- Collins at Collins Brothers Produce and

tions peaches," said Stella a crate of colorful tomatoes.

Xu, laughing as she translat-

ed for a member of the China

group. Xu is director of China Initiatives in the Department of Eco-

nomic Development's Center of Innovation for Agriculture.

Georgia ranks first nationally in the production of blueberries, pea-

nuts, pecans and chicken. In fact, if Georgia were a country, it would

rank seventh worldwide in the production of broilers, or chickens

raised for meat.

The blueberry's recent rise to prominence in Georgia comes as the

state's peach crop has fallen to third-place nationally behind Califor-

nia and South Carolina. Georgia's blueberry growers are increasing

their yield each season, thus creating a need for bigger markets in the

process.

"They are looking for more market opportunities because they are

producing more," said Roderick Gilbert, senior agribusiness coordina-

tor for the Center of Innovation

for Agriculture.

Those opportunities can in-

clude the export of fresh fruit as

well as the use of Georgia blue-

berries in other food products

like yogurt. The Georgia Blue-

berry Association met with the

China group during its visit.

The Atlanta Market itself has

been a hub for wholesale and

retail agribusiness for 56 years.

Developed on 160 acres adja-

cent to the Hartsfield-Jackson

International Airport in 1959, the

market is home to 70 tenants en-

gaged in the sale and distribution

of mass quantities of produce, re-

lated food products, horticultural

goods and seasonal crops.

"We're always open," said

Stella Xu, director of China Initiatives in the Georgia Department of

market manager Paul Thompson. Long-term tenants like Co-

osemans and Collins Brothers

to Interstate 75, the airport and

on-site rail spurs tied to national rail lines to distribute domestic and

exotic fruits and vegetables throughout the Southeast.

In fact, Coosemans Atlanta manager Bryan Thornton greeted the

delegation with a piece of their own home-grown produce, a head of

Shanghai baby bok choy pulled from a bin next to a box of colorful

and very large Texas carrots.

"Shanghai yay!" Thornton exclaimed as he held the bok choy aloft.

Coosemans got its start in the 1980s selling a little known leafy

green called endive and is now a worldwide distributor of some 750

specialty fruits and vegetables, Thornton said. He picked boxes of var-

ious varieties of micro greens from the shelves and offered tastings as

he led a walking tour of the business.

Coosemans Atlanta is one of 35 long-term tenants on the Atlan-

ta Market. Collins

Brothers Produce is

another. The hall-

ways and cavern-

ous rooms of the

warehouses both

businesses occupy

are abuzz with fork

lifts and workers

scurrying to fulfill

orders for custom-

ers throughout the

Southeast.

David Collins said

his business sends

out 100 truckloads of

fresh produce daily.

He offered samples

peppers (said to be

the hottest chili pep-

per in the word, which may explain why he found no takers) from the

shelves.

In between samples the produce buyers peppered Thornton and

Collins with questions about

safe food handling, shipping,

accounts receivable and

overall sales.

A Southern-style "meat-

and-three" lunch at the Oak-

wood Caf on the Market

with Georgia Department of

Agriculture Commissioner

Gary Black rounded out the

delegation's visit to the At-

lanta Market and made a last-

ing impression, according to

translator Xu.

"They were really

touched by Commissioner

Black coming to have lunch

with them," Xu said. "They

also wrote an article about

meeting the commissioner

and quoted what he said to

them, that building friend-

ship and trust is the key to the

success of developing future

business. There are many opportunities for collaboration and they want to continue the dialogue. The impact we

Big rivalry, big win
Farmers are a generally amiable lot, but like every other human on the planet, they're not entirely immune to the competitive urge. In October, Howard Milsap of Newnan was reading his Market Bulletin when he caught sight of a photo of Fred Barnes of Tifton posing with the multi-spud sweet potato vine he'd harvested. When Milsap went to harvest his own sweet potato crop, he found this 38-lb. beauty hiding beneath three other potatoes that measured about 5 inches in diameter each. His thoughts turned to Barnes. "I wanted to show Fred Barnes of Tifton how to grow sweet potatoes," Milsap wrote. "It's so big I can't get it in the oven."
Brody Ogles, a student at Rosemont Elementary in LaGrange, was named Georgia State winner of Bonnie Plants' Third Grade Cabbage Program. Brody grew this 30-pound cabbage, which earned him a $1,000 scholarship. Bonnie Plants Third Grade Cabbage Program has provided cabbage plants to third graders throughout the state for 13 years. Nearly 50,000 Georgia students received plants this season. "Our steadfast hope is that our Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program will be a catalyst to spark children's interest in agriculture, understand where their food comes from, and allow them to learn the joy and rewards of gardening," said Kimberly Harruff, program director.
