Pickles are kind of a big dill in November
Georgia grows those, too

There are no parades for pickles in Georgia. There's not even a Miss Pickle contest, but maybe there should be because pickles are kind of a big dill this month. Nov. 14 is National Pickle Day, which provides growers and producers a chance to highlight pickles and the versatility of pickling.
The ubiquitous pickle lines grocery store shelves and can be found in almost every refrigerator today, but it is one of the oldest foods known to humans. The Mesopotamians pickled to preserve food as far back as 2400 BC. Cucumbers, native to India, came along a few centuries later.
Christopher Columbus brought pickles to

the Americas and grew cucumbers in Haiti for pickling to supply the trip back to Europe.
Today, cucumbers are a top vegetable crop in Georgia. Overall, vegetables are the fourth largest commodity in Georgia, contributing more than $1.5 billion to the state's economy. Of that, cucumbers come in fifth behind bell peppers, watermelons, onions and sweet corn, according to the University of Georgia's Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development.
In the United States, Georgia is among the top cucumber producing states. Florida leads in all types of cucumbers, while Michigan leads the country in cucumbers best suited for pickling. North Carolina and California are also big growers.
Last year, Georgia farmers planted 10,200 acres of cucumbers with a value of over $35.2 million, UGA noted.
Brian Watkins relishes growing cucumbers for Mt. Olive, the North Carolina-based pickle company. He grows about 1,500 acres of cucumbers each year on his Dodge County farm. He said the key for a good pickle is size.
"If you know anything about cucumbers, a salad cucumber is a foot long, and a pickle is
about four to six inches. For them, that length is a big deal because it has to fit in their jars when they do certain packs," he said.
Cucumbers grow fast and are ready to pick about 45 days after planting. Watkins says he gets a spring and fall crop and sometimes tries to get a third crop in the summer. Because of the plant's growth rate, Watkins explains he has to move fast at picking time.
"They're growing so fast, I have anywhere from 12 to 24 hours of a pick window," he said. "Earlier than that, they're all too small, and I'm not making any yield. Later than that, they're all too big, and I'm feeding them to the cows. It is a very, very fast crop, and if you get behind, they don't forgive you at all."
The South has a tradition of pickling that goes beyond cucumbers. From okra to tomatoes and carrots to cabbage chow-chow, many people reared in the South remember their grandparents preserving and pickling what they got out of their gardens.
Doux South Pickles in Atlanta looks to build on that tradition. Mark Hungarland, who started Doux South with his son-inlaw, Atlanta chef Nick Melvin, likes to say, "Sometimes a pickle is more than a pickle."
They started the company in 2013 after enjoying Melvin's pickling skills when Hungarland and his wife would visit. "We would come down, and he would bring out the latest thing that he'd pickled, and I said, `These are fantastic. We should be selling these.' That's how we got started."
The name Doux (pronounced "due") is a tip of the cap to Melvin's New Orleans culinary training and emphasizes the Southern tradition of pickling.
Melvin blends different seasonings with his pickling brines that Hungarland said offer a new spin on pickles. A basic brine of vinegar, water and salt can be used to pickle anything. Melvin's brine for his Angry Cukes dill pickles adds chili flake, garlic, sweet onion and yellow mustard seeds to provide a little heat on the backend of tasting. Celery seed and garlic keep his Sweet Soulshine bread and butter pickles from tasting syrupy.
Doux South Pickles also offers pickled cherry tomatoes, green tomatoes and red onion, along with chow-chow.
The company has on its website tips from Melvin to use pickles in recipes beyond the holiday pickle tray, but Hungarland said there's no shame in eating them right out of the jar.
"It was all about taking that tradition of pickling vegetables that goes back forever in the South, and how do you bring that forward and educate people as to how you could use them and then put a little twist on things, so there's a little new twist on the pickle itself," he said.

Season the mix with lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a container and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
Before serving, slice the radishes. Garnish hummus with green onion and a generous drizzle of olive or infused peanut oil. Serve hummus with radishes on the side for dipping.

Spiced Rum Apple Crostata with Pecan Brown Butter Streusel
Pastry: Adapted from Polina Chesnakovas Endlessly Adaptable Galette Dough, published in the Washington Post, 2018
Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more
as needed 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp salt 8 Tbsps (1 stick) cold unsalted
butter, cut into inch cubes 2 Tbsps ice water 2 Tbsps sour cream (may substitute
buttermilk or plain yogurt)
Directions Place flours, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add butter and pulse until the mixture is a combination of coarse meal and lots of large, peasized bits of butter.
Combine the buttermilk or sour cream with the ice water and pour in all at once. Pulse a few more times until the mixture holds together when pinched but is not sticky. Don't worry if it doesn't come together into a ball at this stage; it should still resemble coarse meal.
Dump the mixture onto a lightly floured work surface, gather up into a rough mass, and knead a few times until it just comes together. Form into a rough disk, wrap until airtight, and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least two hours. Dough can be made and refrigerated up to two days ahead or frozen up to a month in advance; for frozen dough, let thaw completely in the fridge before using.
Streusel Topping: Adapted from Claudia Fleming's Apple Crostada with Brown Butter Streusel, published in Food & Wine Magazine, 2006
Ingredients 4 Tbps butter cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup pecan pieces 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 2 Tbsps light or dark brown sugar
Directions Melt the butter in a small stainless steel skillet or saucepan over medium high heat, and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. In a food processor, combine flour, pecans and granulated and brown sugars and pulse about 5 times until pecans are coarsely chopped. Add browned butter and pulse until combined and the mixture is crumbly. Place in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use. Streusel topping can be made up to 2 days ahead.
Filling and Assembly: Adapted from Tom Douglas's Hot Buttered Rum Apple Pie, published in the Dahlia Bakery Cookbook, 2012
2 lbs apples, cored, quartered, and sliced 1/4 inch thick lengthwise with a sharp knife or mandolin, no peeling necessary
cup granulated sugar cup light or dark brown sugar 2 Tbsp Richland Rum Almost Rum
or molasses cup dark rum 1 tsp vanilla tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp salt tsp fresh grated nutmeg 2 tsps cornstarch 4 Tbsps (1/2 stick) unsalted butter,
cut into small cubes and kept refrigerated
For egg wash (optional): 1 egg 1 Tbsp water
Directions Divide the granulated sugar between two large skillets, shake to distribute evenly, and heat over medium high heat. Watching carefully, cook the sugar without stirring until it starts to melt, swirling and tilting the pan to promote even cooking.
When the sugar is completely liquid and has caramelized into a medium amber color, immediately dived the apples between the two pans and stir. Cook the apples for about
8-10 minutes until they are softened but still slightly firm, and very little liquid remains in the pan. Transfer apples to a large bowl and let cool completely to room temperature.
While the apples are cooling, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and roll out the dough. Line an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and let soften for about 5 minutes. Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour, and begin to roll from the center outward, flipping dough and dusting with flour frequently to prevent sticking. Redistribute dough as needed for a more even circle. Continue rolling until you have a 14x14-inch rough circle, about 1/8 of an inch thick. Run a bench knife or offset spatula along the perimeter of the circle to make sure it hasn't gotten stuck (or to gently loosen it if it has) and guide one hand underneath it. Flip the dough over onto the other hand to transfer to the lined baking sheet. Gently fold the overhanging dough back onto the pan and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
Combine cornstarch, spices, salt, vanilla, rum and Almost Rum or molasses in a bowl, stirring to break up any lumps of cornstarch. If using an egg wash, beat the egg with the water in a bowl and set aside.
When the apples are cool, toss them with the cornstarch mixture, butter, and the brown sugar. Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and let soften for about 3 minutes, just enough to unfold the overhanging dough.
With a slotted spoon, distribute apple filling in an even layer from the center of dough outward, leaving a 3-inch border on all sides. Fold the edges of the dough up over the filling, creating pleats to form a circular shape. Distribute the streusel topping evenly over the exposed apple filling, brush the dough with egg wash, and place in the oven to bake for about 40-50 minutes, until filling is bubbling and streusel and crust are evenly golden brown. Let cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, if you like, and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Choose edible decor for your holiday baking
The Georgia Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Division reminds consumers to read labels carefully when choosing decorative glitters and dusts for holiday baking and to purchase only those products labeled safe for consumption.
"Labeling of ingredients can sometimes be confusing, especially when we think about decorating a cake and using an item labeled `for decoration only,'" said Natalie Adan, food safety division director for the GDA. "However, if a luster dust is not explicitly labeled `edible' the results can be dangerous, especially to young children or the elderly. Non-edible decorative products may contain heavy metals and other non-food grade ingredients that are not safe, even in very small amounts."
If you have specific questions about ingredients in non-edible decorative glitters or dusts used in food decorating, please contact the FDA Office of Food Additive Safety at premarkt@ fda.hhs.gov.

Veterinary loan repayment application
period opens for 2021 awards
ATLANTA The Georgia Veterinary Education Loan Repayment Program is now accepting applications for 2021.
The 2020 Georgia General Assembly appropriated state funds totaling $90,000 to pay toward the student loan debt of veterinarians who commit to 12 months of food animal veterinary medicine in rural areas of need in the state.
The State Veterinary Education Board will contract with up to five eligible applicants in 2021 for award amounts of up to $20,000. Participants may reapply at the successful end of their contract, with a total of $80,000 in assistance possible from the program.
Each applicant is required to submit a completed application form and the appropriate reference documents to the veterinary education board by no later than Dec. 1, 2020. Completed applications must be accompanied by three completed reference forms, one of which must be from a DVM/VMD and one from a current of former employer.
If an applicant has no employment history, they are asked to include a reference from a professor directly involved in the completion of their veterinary degree program.
Program highlights: GVELRP incentivizes Georgia veterinarians who agree to devote 20 per hours per
week, in designated rural counties, for at least one year to food animal health care. The 2020 Georgia General Assembly approved $90,000 for program funding, allowing
up to $18,000 award payments for up to five award recipients. The Georgia Student Finance Commission will apply payment against pre-determined
student loans as indicated by the applicant. Applications will be accepted now through Dec. 1st at 5 p.m. Visit http://www.agr.
georgia.gov/georgia-veterinary-education-loan-repayment-program.aspx for online application information. Applicants currently enrolled in a GVELRP or USDA cancellable loan program will not be eligible but are encouraged to participate in future offerings. The Georgia Veterinary Education Board will review, determine, and announce award recipients by Jan. 1, 2021.
Completed applications can be returned via email to statevetedboard@agr.georgia.gov or mailed to:
Georgia Department of Agriculture Attn: Bo Warren 19 Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. SW, Suite 210 Atlanta, GA 30334

Virtual Fair Art Contest
We hosted an art contest in honor of the virtual observance of the Georgia National Fair Oct. 8-18, and were amazed at the great response! Eleven young Georgia artists responded by coloring a fun scene of Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot, enjoying some fair fun. We said we'd choose a winner, but we think you'll agree they're all winners, and that's why we're happy to present every submission to you. Thank you to all who participated, and we hope to see you all in person next year at the fair!

Guest Column: COVID-19 presents challenges, learning opportunities for Georgia's animal industry
Georgie's Drive
Thru ABAC
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! There's no place like home. And, there's no place like ABAC, either. Founded in 1908 as the Second District A&M School, it permanently became known as ABAC in 1933. ABAC is short for Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, named after one of the two signers of the United States Constitution representing Georgia. The other signer was William Few, who somehow has less than a few things in Georgia named after him. Abraham Baldwin is credited as the founder of Franklin College in Athens in 1785. It got a catchier title after it expanded the University of Georgia. Baldwin studied theology at Yale but became a lawyer before moving here. After serving as the first president of UGA, he served as a congressman and then as a senator in Washington, DC. He died in office in 1807. ABAC has a very storied mascot, the Golden Stallion, which stands on a round brick pedestal in front of the J. Lamar Branch Student Center. The Golden Stallion is proud of their football team's win/ loss record: Still Undefeated. Gee Haw! Whoa Back!

In this COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, our animal industries have been undergoing unusual and trying times. The pandemic created by this virus has caused not only sickness and death, it has also forced us to learn new technologies and utilize these tools regularly in order to continue our work. Challenges of getting animals to market, maintaining employees, ensuring animal welfare and maintaining a safe and secure food supply for our population have all been at the forefront. These challenges have created some unusual or rather out-of-the-ordinary channels of animal movement. Nationwide, meat processing facilities have been especially hard hit by absenteeism associated with COVID-19. Many of these meat facilities temporarily closed while others were forced to reduce output due to the reduction of staff. Pork and poultry slaughter facilities were especially impacted; however, beef and further-processing facilities were also negatively affected. Because many production channels (especially pork and poultry) have been disrupted in many parts of the country, producers have searched for new ways to market their animals. For example, poultry is being sold out of trucks in parking lots and commercial pigs, ready for market but with no processing facility available, are being sold to backyard farmers or moved across state lines to small processing facilities. Swine from other states are coming to Georgia to be processed in our slaughter facilities. This is all good news; however, we must remain vigilant. Our rules have not been altered and, thus, animal movement remains subject to all import laws, rules and regulations.
Know the rules Animal disease can easily spread when safe animal handling and movement is not practiced. Georgia, like all other states and countries, has laws, rules and regulations that govern importation of animals. These laws, rules and regulations are in place to protect our animal industries within the state and to prevent unwanted animal disease from entering. When these rules are ignored and animals are illegally imported, it puts our animal industry, livestock and companion animals at risk. To import an animal into the state of Georgia, the Official Code of Georgia, the Georgia Department of Agriculture Rules and Regulations and the USDA Animal Disease Traceability Rule for live-
stock must be followed. These laws, rules and regulations require official animal identification, testing, and documentation issued by a licensed and accredited veterinarian.
The official document is called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI or health certificate). This CVI certifies that a licensed accredited veterinarian has examined the listed animals and found them to be free of disease, appropriately identified, and in compliance with all import requirements of the receiving state.
Lessons to be learned SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 in people, only rarely infects animals. Current evidence indicates that susceptible species of animals, i.e., dogs, cats, rabbits and mink are acquiring the virus from infected people not animal to animal or animal to human transmission. In addition, our livestock species have been shown to be much more resistant to infection. This virus is providing our human population and animal industry across the world with real life training. We are all learning more about biosecurity, personal protective equipment (PPE), social distancing, cleaning and disinfection, disease surveillance, testing, and vaccinations. Now, let's imagine the virus is not SARS-CoV-2. What if the virus was Foot and Mouth Disease or African Swine Fever or Classical Swine Fever or Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza? These viruses cause disease of high consequence in our food animal livestock. FMD, ASF and CSF only affect animals, they are not zoonotic. However, HPAI may be zoonotic (transmissible between animals and humans). These four viruses affect our four major animal protein sources: FMD (cattle, bison, swine, goats, sheep, deer); ASF and CSF (swine only); HPAI (poultry). Fortunately, these diseases are not currently found in the United States and are considered foreign animal diseases. But these high consequence diseases are currently present in many places around the world and are only a plane or boat ride away. We live in a small world. The lessons we are learning and the experience we are gaining during this COVID-19 pandemic will be invaluable when, not if, a high consequence animal disease arrives in Georgia. We must develop and exercise the necessary tools to be ready. Tools like biosecurity planning; Animal Disease Traceability (ADT); electronic animal identification (EID, RFID); EID capture, storage and rapid retrieval; disease response planning; communication and outreach with farmers, producers, livestock markets, slaughter facilities and livestock associations. In addition, quarantine, depopulation and vaccination planning must be part of the planning. We must be prepared in order to preserve Georgia's Animal Industries.

Forestry Matters: GFC offers a range of services to forestland owners
By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
Georgia landowners need to be aware of the range of assistance available to help them manage their forested acres. From local expert assessments and advice to numerous state and federal incentive and cost-share programs, support is accessible for any number of outcomes desired.
In many cases, the first place to turn for advice or direction is the local office of the Georgia Forestry Commission. While the GFC is well known for its proficiency in preventing and suppressing wildfires, its Forest Management team is the highly skilled group of foresters that can assess forest health and map strategies for specific landowner goals, such as timber production, wildlife enhancement, recreation and aesthetics. In addition, when planting season is at hand, the GFC offers a wide variety of pine and hardwood seedlings that can be ordered and picked up at the local agency office.
There are six programs that are the most commonly utilized for maximizing forestland in Georgia. They are: Southern Pine Beetle Program (SPB), Invasive Plant Control Program (IPCP), Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP), and Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP).
SPB- Helps landowners implement various silvicultural practices to prevent (or minimize) impacts of future southern pine beetle infestations and to suppress current southern pine beetle infestations. Administered by GFC.
IPCP- Promotes healthy forests by eliminating nonnative, invasive plants, which battle for growing space and resources, out-competing native vegetation. This program targets certain invasive plant species listed as top concerns by foresters in Georgia. Administered by GFC.
EQIP- Provides financial and technical assistance to address natural resource concerns and deliver environmental benefits, such as improved water and air quality, conserved ground and surface water, increased soil health and reduced soil erosion and sedimentation, improved or created wildlife habitat, and mitigation against increasing weather volatility. Administered by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
CSP- Encourages land stewards to improve their conservation performance by installing and adopting additional activities, and improving, maintaining, and managing existing activities on agricultural land and nonindustrial private forest land. CSP participants receive an annual land use payment for operation-level
environmental benefits they produce. Administered by NRCS.
CRP- A land conservation program in which participants agree to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve environmental health and quality, in exchange for a yearly rental payment. Contracts are 1015 years in length. The program's long-term goal is to reestablish valuable land cover to help improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and reduce loss of wildlife habitat. Administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
EFRP- Provides payments to eligible owners of non-industrial private forestland for emergency measures to restore land damaged by a natural disaster. (Helps landowners reforest after a natural disaster, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) Administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and FSA.
Periodically, other localized opportunities are available, depending on funding, partnerships, initiatives and grants. For example, the Forest Debris Management Program (FDMP) was funded by the Georgia General Assembly to help landowners manage forest debris resulting from Hurricane Michael and totaled around 700 landowners served on approximately 115,227 acres.

History: Lummus manufactured cotton gins in Juniper and Columbus
Continued From Page 1
gentleman that owned them took me across his pasture and showed them to me and after I looked at them, I said, `Unhuh,'" Stapleton recalled. "The building as you know had fallen down on them and I didn't want to fool with them."
Stapleton, who owns several pieces of antique peanut picking and hay thrashing equipment he loaned out for demonstrations at last year's antique agriculture show, mentioned the gins to fellow collector and show organizer Hamilton Halford of Houston County.
"If anybody can get them back working, Hamilton can sure do it," Stapleton said.
Halford owns several tractors and rare pieces of harvesting equipment picked up in the search for a favorite tractor from his youth.
"As I got older, I wanted to reconnect with what I did as a youngster, which was driving tractors in Daddy's pecan orchards," Halford said. "In doing this I learned the rarity of some of these tractors I worked with."
The collecting bug bit hard and became an outlet for the pressures of his occupation as a Georgia State Trooper who has spent most of his 30-year career in law enforcement aviation.
"Kind of like a seasonal deer hunter or angler, the thrill of the chase in tracking down a rare or unique piece is, I guess, the largest contributing factor fueling this disease," he said of collecting antique farm machinery. "Getting it running and operational comes in second with the satisfaction of restoring
it back to better than new bringing up the rear. The time that I invest in the three above components allows me an opportunity to decompress."
On Oct. 1, Halford pulled a trailer to the Wooten Farm just below Mercer Mill and, with the use of a John Deere frontend loader and a crawler, pulled the two gins out of the fallen structure.
Halford said his goal initially was to save the gins. Later, the plan is to restore the gins to running condition and mount one to a trailer for mobile teaching opportunities.
"For their 120+/- year age, they are in relatively awesome condition," he said.
As the building collapsed around the gins, they rode the wooden second floor down, landing upright on a disintegrating section that came to rest flat on the ground. As time passed the top floor leaned to one side and the tin roof sank while the nails in the 4x4 supports lost their grip and the timbers fell out of the way.
Several pin holes had formed in the tin, allowing some of the wood components to rot. A roof beam was resting on the frame of one of the gins. It wouldn't have been long before the gins disappeared, destroyed by the elements and the weight of a disintegrating roof.
Aside from a few dings to the wood and cast-iron bodies of the gins and their components a feeder, a gin and a condenser the only major damage showing is a broken control lever on one and missing horsehair in the doffer drums of both
eaten by hungry rodents. Lummus moved to pneumatic gins soon after these were manufactured to avoid that problem.
Besides an increase in size and a few minor tweaks, very little changed in cotton gin design between its invention by Eli Whitney in 1794 and the production of these two Lummus models, made in the F.H. Lummus and Sons factory in Columbus between 1900 and 1910. Lummus still makes cotton gins to this day. The company's headquarters are in Savannah, but it's manufacturing plant is now located in Lubbock, Texas.
A close shot focuses on a cotton oil wick in that may well be original to this gin. Prior to advancements in the use of ball bearings, the power shafts had wick oilers to prevent them from wearing against the frame.
Installed on the second floor of a gin house in the early 20th century, two Lummus gins survived the collapse of the house to be rescued from ruin in October. They are 60-saw models, meaning the wooden cabinets contain 60 saw blades that rotate between flat metal plates to separate cotton lint from the seeds. The lint was removed from the saws' teeth by horsehair bushes.
EPA announces 2020 dicamba registration decision
BROOKLET The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced approval of new five-year registrations for two dicamba products and extension of a third during a special ceremony Oct. 27 at Cromley Farms. All three registrations include new control measures to ensure these products can be used effectively to control weeds in tolerant cotton and soybean crops while protecting the environment, including non-target plants, animals, and other crops not tolerant to dicamba.
"With today's decision, farmers now have the certainty they need to make plans for their 2021 growing season," said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. "After reviewing substantial amounts of new information, conducting scientific assessments based on the best available science, and carefully considering input from stakeholders we have reached a resolution that is good for our farmers and our environment."
The new registrations are for two over-the-top dicamba products XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology and Engenia Herbicide. The EPA also extended

the registration for Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology. These registrations are only for use on dicamba-tolerant cotton and soybeans and will expire in 2025.
To manage off-site movement of dicamba, EPA's 2020 registration features important control measures, including: Requiring an approved pH-buffering agent (also
called a Volatility Reduction Agent or VRA) be tank mixed with over-the-top dicamba products prior to all applications to control volatility. Requiring a downwind buffer of 240 feet and 310 feet in areas where listed species are located. Prohibiting over-the-top application of dicamba on soybeans after June 30 and cotton after July 30. Simplifying the label and use directions so that growers can more easily determine when and how to properly apply dicamba.
