As of press time, The Georgia Department of Agriculture is aware of seven known posi- tive cases of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus or more commonly known as PEDv. These are the first known positives for the state and were originally determined on Febru- ary 27, 2015 from two samples taken during the Georgia Junior National Livestock Show held in Perry, Ga, on February 18-21, 2015. GDA immediately responded with biosecu- rity measures to prevent further spread of the disease. As a part of that response, inspectors visited premises who reported possible clini- cal symptoms of PEDv. Sampling from those visits resulted in the additional positives from the original findings. “Within 24 hours of the first positive re- sults we were able to communicate with our FFA and 4-H leadership, as well as veterinar- ians in the state and the show facility to in- form them of the situation,” Dr. Robert Cobb, Georgia State Veterinarian said. “I have per- sonally had multiple communications with neighboring state veterinarians as well as those from other states that have experience in dealing with PEDv. We will continue to work closely with all of our partners to ad- dress this situation “ PEDv is not a food safety or public health risk and does not affect other domestic spe- cies. However, it can pose a serious threat to production herds due to its highly contagious nature and severity of symptoms, especially young piglets. GDA is working closely with other animal industry partners to provide in- formation about bio-security, disease preven- tion and control. “Prior to Georgia having any confirmed cases of PEDv, the Georgia Department of Agriculture formed a swine technical ad- visory committee consisting of representa- tives from the swine industry, veterinarians, University of Georgia lab personnel and the Georgia Farm Bureau to develop a proactive plan,” said Georgia Agriculture Commission- er Gary Black. “We are proud to say that this preparation has assisted us in our response to this situation and we thank all vested parties for their cooperation as we work to fully im- plement our bio-security protocol.” Approximately 1,300 swine were shown at the Georgia Junior National Livestock Show by approximately 500 4-H and FFA exhibi- tors. According to show rules all swine were required to be in the ownership of the Georgia exhibitor and have an official state tag by De- cember 5, 2014. The incubation period for PEDv is 36 hours. Symptoms can emerge four to five days after exposure and vary widely depending on the age of the pig affected. Symptoms include off-feed, vomiting, diarrhea and increased mortality. Pigs can also be asymptomatic car- riers of the virus. Biosecurity is the key to preventing spread of the disease. It is important to limit travel and commingling with other swine associated events or personnel. The disease can be spread by pig to pig contact and by contaminated equipment, chutes, trailers, vehicles, clothing and personnel. All equip- ment should be cleaned and disinfected and all sick animals isolated. It is important to regularly observe your herd for evidence of disease. For more information about the investiga- tion and PEDv, please visit the Georgia De- partment of Agriculture website at www.agr. georgia.gov or call GDA’s Animal Health de- partment at 404-656-3667.

PEDv is not a food safety or public health

GDA is working closely with other animal industry partners to provide in-formation about bio-security, disease preven-tion and control.

“Prior to Georgia having any confirmed cases of PEDv, the Georgia Department of Agriculture formed a swine technical ad-

Approximately 1,300 swine were shown at

the Georgia Junior National Livestock Show by approximately 500 4-H and FFA exhibi-tors. According to show rules all swine were required to be in the ownership of the Georgia exhibitor and have an official state tag by De-cember 5, 2014.

The incubation period for PEDv is 36 hours. Symptoms can emerge four to five days after exposure and vary widely depending on the age of the pig affected. Symptoms include off-feed, vomiting, diarrhea and increased mortality. Pigs can also be asymptomatic car-riers of the virus.

In Georgia, protecting public health is a top priority for many state agencies that work in concert to regulate food manufacturers, retailers, restaurants, and institutions such as schools, daycares, hospitals and nursing homes. The impact of foodborne illness and the efforts to protect the public from them are a major concern, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates roughly 1 out of every 6 Americans experience foodborne illness, or food poison-ing, each year. This equates to approximately 48 million people falling sick a year and 3,000 deaths. In 2010 the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Georgia ranked ninth in the country for the number of foodborne illnesses. There is a clear need for increased efforts in protection against foodborne illness both on a state and nationwide level. In response, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)

has partnered with multiple states throughout the country to develop a series of Rapid Response Teams with the goal of addressing the need for improved, integrated rapid response to food and feed emergencies.

In 2010, the State of Georgia partnered with the FDA and the Georgia Rapid Response Team (GA RRT) was established. The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) was appointed as the primary responsible agency to implement the GA RRT. To build an integrated food safety system the GDA aligned with several sister agencies, including the Georgia Department of Public Health, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Additionally, the GA RRT was able to open communication and partner with neighboring federal agencies, such as the CDC, FDA, U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Today, the GA RRT has become one of the premiere and most integrated food safety response teams in the country. The team serves as an excellent medium to bring all the relevant federal, state, and local officials together to train for real-world food and feed safety events that may threaten the public. The overall mission of the GA RRT is to characterize, investigate, mitigate and conclude food and feed emergencies as a part of a coordinated federal-state-local integrated food safety system.

In the past three years, the GA RRT has been heavily involved in developing and revising best practice guidelines, standard operating procedures and memorandums of understanding to build and strengthen the state’s capability and capacity to respond to food and feed emergencies. As a result, the state is now better prepared for a public health response to a number of scenarios that would put the public at risk. This includes the consequences of natural disasters (such as hurricanes, floods, droughts or ice storms), unintentional contaminations (such as foodborne illness outbreaks, allergen alerts, or extensive recalls), and even intentional contaminations or acts of bioterrorism.

Response activities can include routine and emergency sampling of food products and the environ-ment, epidemiological investigations of illness, recall effectiveness checks, traceback and traceforward investigations and mitigation strategies such as product embargos, seizures, or a withhold from sale, all of which prevent further distribution. Additionally, the GA RRT serves as resource to the community and industry, especially during a natural disaster, by providing information on the salvaging and protection of perishable foods in emergencies and informa-tion on the sorting and disposal of potentially contaminated foods. A recent example came during the ice storm in the winter of 2013 in which the GA RRT monitored power outages to understand the impact on food safety.

To learn more, please contact Georgia’s RRT Program Manager, Brandon Sauceda at [email protected] or call (404) 656-3621.

Brandon Sauceda currently serves as the Rapid Response Team Program Manager for the Georgia Department of Agriculture in the Food Safety Division. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Southeast Missouri State University and a Master of Public Health Degree from Emory University.

GUEST COLUMN: Rapid Response Team

Georgia blueberry growers agreed to continue the assessment on blueberries grown in Georgia during the recent referendum, held January 21 through February 20. The blueberry marketing order passed with 77.45% of eligible grower bal-lots received, voting to continue the assessment at a rate of five dollars ($5) per ton of marketed blueberries. Funds received from the grower as-sessment on blueberries can be spent on research, education and promotion of blueberries. The de-cisions on projects to be funded are determined by the members of the Georgia Agriculture Com-modity Commission for Blueberries. Funded projects include research on anti-oxidant and nu-tritional values for Georgia blueberries, herbicide programs, disease management, nutrient manage-ment and variety development. Georgia ranks number one in the production blueberries in the United States.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2015 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN – 404-656-3722 PAGE 7

If you ask Georgia gardeners to list their top 10 perennials, most lists will include daylilies. I know mine does.

And why not? Daylilies are durable and versatile. They can exhibit graceful elegance or flamboyant fabulousness. They fit in with other perennials but also can be planted en masse for great swaths of color or even be used to prevent soil erosion on banks.

I knew there were thousands of daylily cultivars, but even I was surprised to learn there are about 75,000 registered with the American Hemerocallis (Daylily) Society. Granted, some of them are quite rare and equally expensive, and some are similar to each other. But 75,000! And that’s not all the daylilies out there.

I grew up loving the common tawny daylily (Hemerocallis fulva ‘Europa’) that resided in old gardens and along roadsides. I was fascinated by the triple-flowered orange I now know to be ‘Flore Pleno’ that my grandmother grew. (I also now know it to be an aggressive spreader that will take over a daylily bed like Genghis Khan. It’s beautiful, but keep it in an area by itself.)

Most of my daylilies were given by my first grade teacher. They may have been new or relatively new when she got them. It’s been almost 50 years since the first grade, but Mrs. Miller’s daylilies are still going strong and so is my love for them.

As a child, I think my favorite was ‘Bess Ross’ a 1951 introduction with bright red

petals. No flower in our garden was as vibrant.

Over the years, I have come to love ‘Miss Jessie’ even more. Described officially as an “orchid mauve and light yellow bicolor” and considered a “spider daylily” because of its long, narrow petals, ‘Miss Jessie’ was introduced in 1956 and screams modernism and mid-century design to me.

I purchased ‘Challenger’ and ‘Autumn Minaret,’ two tall late-bloomers that extend the daylily season into August. (The main daylily month is June). I love the fragrance of ‘Autumn Minaret,’ but despite its name, summer is still in force when it blooms in Atlanta. Its blooms are not large, but at five and a half feet tall, you won’t overlook them. It is also the only one of my daylilies that hummingbirds visit.

I purchased the citron daylily (Hemerocalllis citrina) but was disappointed because the fragrance wasn’t as nice as I had expected. Then I began to appreciate its slender grace and the fact that the flowers opened in the evening instead of the morning like other daylilies. It’s staying.

When moving daylilies from my parents’ house, I accidentally dug up a ‘Stella de Oro’ my mother planted. ‘Stella de Oro’ has a long blooming period. It is mass produced and may be the most widely planted daylily in America. That was why I didn’t want it. Well, after a year I don’t

think I can let it go. It doesn’t take up much space and blooms its little head off; it has earned its keep.

Breeders have not just expanded the number of cultivars, they have expanded the shapes and colors of the daylilies themselves. There are daylilies with fringed and frilled

petals. There are deeper greens, purer pinks, near-whites and true purples. Markings now include colored edges. On some cultivars the three true petals are so large they cover the smaller three. (Technically, the small three are actually sepals that resemble petals.)

I’d like to find room for a few of these newbies and also some older ones I’ve had my eyes on: ‘Orangeman,’ ‘Corky,’ ‘Jean,’ ‘Mikado,’ ‘August Flame’ and ‘Caballero.’

Daylilies love sun but will tolerate part-shade. A general rule is to make sure they get at least six hours of direct sun a day. Daylilies will grow in a wide range of soils. If you have clay or sand, mix in organic matter such as compost. The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service has a publication, “Daylily Culture,” available online or at your county office. It will answer many of your questions.

Daylilies are available from catalogs and at nurseries and garden centers where horticulturists can help you with your decisions and offer advice. The American Hemerocallis Society provides a list of sources at www.daylilies.org.

Add a daylily to your garden. You may find a love that lasts forever, or at least 50 years….

Arty Schronce is the Department’s resident gardening expert. He is a lifelong gardener and a horticulture graduate of North Carolina State University who says “Carpe Hemerocallis – Seize the daylily!”

ARTY’S GARDEN: Forever and a Daylily

‘MISS JESSIE’ is one of thousands of daylilies that can grace Georgia gardens.

food entrepreneurs from every corner of the state to highlight their creative and delicious products that make Georgia’s food scene one of the most vibrant and diverse in the nation,” said Sharon P. Kane, Flavor of Georgia contest coordinator.

The popular contest consists of market-ready

prototypes or commercially available food prod-ucts from across the state that are judged and critiqued by a panel of food experts. Entries are judged based on flavor, best use of Georgian in-gredients, Georgia theme, unique or innovative qualities, commercial appeal and originality.

Claudia Dunkley’s colleagues at the Uni-versity of Georgia help the state’s poultry farmers grow chickens more efficiently. Dunkley helps them handle one of the indus-try’s biggest, and often underappreciated, byproducts – chicken litter.

For the past seven years, Dunkley has conducted Extension and applied research as a poultry scientist in the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. In addition to studying the use of poultry lit-ter on Georgia crops, her research included quantifying the carbon footprint of poultry farms.

According to the Georgia Poultry Fed-eration and the UGA Center for Agribusi-ness and Economic Development, poultry production in Georgia has a $38 billion eco-nomic impact and provides jobs to more than 100,000 Georgians. Americans love chicken, but 20 percent of the chicken produced in Georgia ends up on dinner tables in countries like China and Mexico.

“We do produce a whole lot of chick-ens in Georgia. Over the past 40 years, the amount of chicken Georgia farmers produce annually has more than tripled,” said Dunk-ley, who’s based on the UGA campus in Tif-ton. Georgia produces 1.4 billion meat-type chickens and 300 billion table eggs a year, making it the largest poultry-producing state in the U.S.

Along with producing an invaluable source of protein for people across the globe, the poultry industry in Georgia produces about 2 million tons of valuable poultry lit-ter. Chicken litter includes both bedding ma-terial and bird excreta.

“We have the most chickens, so we have

a lot of litter. Litter is a valuable resource for farmers. The excreta is nutrient-rich and is highly sought after by farmers for use as a natural fertilizer on both pastures and crop-land,” she said. “Spread over agricultural land, poultry litter provides a source of nu-trients, organic material and adds humus.”

Proper use of litter or any fertilizer is ex-tremely important. This is where Dunkley’s Extension work comes into play. She and her UGA colleagues provide farmers and UGA

Extension agents with best management practices and nutrient management plans to assure litter is used in the best possible way to promote plant growth and to protect the environment, she said.

Dunkley said adding litter to pastures over time can improve the soil’s ability to retain and hold moisture, thus reducing run-off and erosion. Litter may also help increase the carbon in the soil and other micronutri-ents, increasing the soil’s fertility and pro-

ductivity, she said.“Many Georgia farmers who use poultry

litter say they have better yields using poul-try litter as compared to commercial fertil-izer and, at present, litter is much cheaper than chemical fertilizer,” Dunkley said.

The nutrients found in chicken litter are valuable. The nitrogen, phosphorous and po-tassium in a ton of litter is worth about $80, Dunkley said.

Whether it’s commercial fertilizers or chicken litter, farmers want the nutrients they pay for to be fully utilized by their pas-tures and crops. “And, farmers want to pre-vent nutrients from either litter or conven-tional fertilizer from getting into streams, rivers and lakes,” she said.

There’s a high demand for poultry litter, especially in south Georgia, where farmers pay to have litter shipped to them from poul-try farms in north Georgia. Selling poultry litter to other farmers provides added income to poultry farmers.

Poultry litter can be applied to pastures, forestland, used along highways, on cotton fields and on other row crops. “Of course, we discourage the use of poultry litter, or any type of manure, on vegetable crops be-cause of concern about food safety,” Dunk-ley said.

By studying the application of poultry litter to farmland and working closely with Georgia poultry producers, Dunkley helps maintain a balance between the use of a valu-able byproduct and a healthy environment.

“All farmers are environmentalists at their core. All I do is make sure they have sound, research-based information to man-age their litter and have the positive impact on soil and water quality they all desire,” she said.

Terms like “gluten-free,” “natural,” “or-ganic” and “locally grown” are popping up all over the grocery store and in the food media. It may seem like Americans are eat-ing healthier than ever before.

In reality, only a select group of consum-ers are buying products that are marketed as being healthier or more environmentally conscious. Most consumers are still eating high-calorie, processed foods and make food choices based on taste and convenience rather than health claims.

Food science professor Louise Wicker, of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES), studies what drives consumer choices and how to get people to eat health-ier food.

She’s found that consumers who place a premium on foods that make these claims only represent a small segment of the popu-lation. Many more Americans build their di-ets around foods that are high in fat, salt and calories, and more than one-third of Ameri-

can adults are obese.“How did we get to this place of obe-

sity, under-nutrition and lack of awareness of sustainable agricultural practices by a large segment of the population?” Wicker asked at a recent Sustainable Food Systems Initiative seminar, a forum for faculty from colleges across UGA to share their research and to have meaningful dialogue on the is-sue of food production and consumption.

Until World War II, America’s under-nutrition problems were fueled by food insecurity. The priority was providing the public with adequate nutrients. After WWII, a number of changes in U.S. society, in-cluding women joining the workforce, led to a boom in the development of processed foods. Americans began over-consuming and making other lifestyle choices that re-sulted in taking in more calories than they burned.

In the last 50 or 60 years, average Ameri-cans have lost interest in cooking and lost cooking skills. In 1960, the average home-cooked meal contained 20 ingredients. To-day the average home-cooked meal includes

fewer than six ingredients. It’s not just that people have lost the desire to cook; many families have busy schedules that put cook-ing on the back burner.

When choosing between cooking dinner or going to their child’s school concert, for example, most parents prioritize spending free time with their children, which means buying pre-packaged meals and eating away from home, Wicker said.

One key to developing healthier eating habits is to “start with schools, so kids bring the habits home to mom and dad.” Children are likely to eat healthier if fruits and veg-etables taste better and if their flavor profiles are shifted.

Moreover, there is evidence that obese and non-obese people experience food dif-ferently, Wicker said. “Obese individuals tend to prefer more salt, fat and sugar and are not satiated by the same amount as nor-mal weight individuals,” she said.

Cutting the amount of sugar, salt and fat that children expect in their meals can short circuit this cycle early. Offer-ing more and better fruits, vegetables and

healthy options can eventually change students’ taste buds. Farm-to-school pro-grams get kids excited about growing and eating vegetables.

Healthier eating for adults isn’t easy. Their feelings about food and taste prefer-ences can take longer to change.

While people say they want healthier or more natural groceries, good intentions don’t always translate into sales or con-sumption of healthy choice foods.

Sometimes, health claims can actually turn consumers away.

For example, in spring of 2013, Burger King introduced Satisfries—French fries that were advertised as having 40 percent less fat than the McDonald’s fries. Sales were unexpectedly low, and by fall 2014, Burger King announced they would no lon-ger offer Satisfries.

People have a misconception that food labeled as healthy tastes bad. Many food gi-ants are starting to lower salt, sugar and fat content without telling consumers, Wicker said. The hope is that these “stealth health” initiatives don’t turn consumers away.

Healthy Labels Do Not Translate into Healthier Diets
